The legal system from 1665 to 1863, and permitted until 1878. Magnitudes given are based on an 1878 determination of the length of the fot. After 1739 an alternative, decimalized system was also legal, see below.

In the 1730's Sweden introduced a system in which the fot was divided decimally. This was an official system between 1739 and 1878, used alongside the older divisions until 1878, and was permitted until 1889, when the metric system became obligatory. The stög and rev were not added to this system of decimally-related units until 1855. The nymil was introduced in 1879, with the metric system.
