Hi,

If you want the change to be persistent between application starts then go to:

Menu → Edit → Preferences → General tab → App Preferences → Units

and change in the Units RadioButton from Inch to MM and then don’t forget to apply the change by clicking on Save Preferences button in the lower right of the screen (or trying to close the Preferences tab window which will prompt you to save the changes).

Now, every time you start the application, FlatCAM will be in METRIC units. Don’t forget to update the Preferences to your own values, the default ones may not apply to your case, and some time they are too conservative.

Solved as this was a lack of knowledge from the user on how to change units in FlatCAM beta.
