1 - Can it be converted or is it available in Imperial units
2 - In the power/speed window, is that mm per second?
3 - I believe it wont work in Corel X4, will the driver work in X3 but on a vista or Win 7 machine?

...perhaps I should also have said "How can it be changed to Imperial?"
apparently its possible, but it must be a secret...
'Just had a look in 'laser.ini' in my Lasercut 5.0 folder.
The only likely-looking item I can see is a line that reads:
[CoordSystem_0]
(There are several CoordSystem lines, with various postcripts, in the .ini files)
Remember, if you make any changes to the .ini files - it's good idea to make a back-up copy first!
I have LC 5.0 also and I don't use (didn't like) the Corel plug-in for this version. With a Corel file that is in inches, I "save as" an AI 7 file and then import that into LC and it cuts the correct imperial size, minus beam width of course.
I know that's an extra step but I've never had any problem with it not cutting the correct sizes. I've never tried to use LC as a drawing program, so the metric measurements aren't a problem. All my cut files come from Corel in imperial measurements and that's what the results are.

I always made all my arts and cut on corel draw, separating the cuts with one color and the engravings with another color, when the art is finish I EXPORT the art as an Autocad DXF file.
On LaserCut I just use the import feature and look for the DXF file and walla.
Did anyone figure out how to switch to imperial?? I would like to do this as well.
