[single phase]

When I start a new file it always defaults to mm. How can I change that to inches?

Open a new file, start the hypermill interface, before you do anything else click on the setup icon (Looks like a wrench) and set to imperial, on the bottom of that dialog box is an icon of a disk with a blue check box on it (I believe a mouse hover reveals something about 'default' something) click on that icon, save that file.

Well that was easy! Thanks. :rainfro:

The same "Save As Default" functionality can be applied to jobs as well. For example: If you wish to have a 3D Profile Machining job always open up to Y-axis direction cutting, just select your desired setting and save as default.

My customer makes STEP files in English, but I do everything in Metric. When I open the file in Hypermill, the dimensions are wrong. Before, I have scaled the part, but this is ridiculous since STEP files already know what units they are. I don't have to do this in SolidWorks, Fusion, etc.... Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks, Ed
