    Mixing english and metric units in CAMBAM?

    It seems like the option for Drawing units only allows either inches or MM...does that mean that if i was to pocket a 30mm circle using a 1/4" router bit, I need to do set the Drawing units to either inch or MM, and do manual conversion for one of the two?

    It seems like this should be somehow configurable in the software...but I can find it. Any help/
