Yes, it uses the display units. For radius vs diameter mode, it uses the active gcode (it can't go off of displayed units, because both radius and diameter are always shown). > It might be nice to have the units displayed in the data entry box as > a reminder that the data needs to match the current units.

For lathes touching off X, it also will show whether the value will be treated as a radius or a diamter. > Also, the tool table always follows the .ini file units.

This is not such an easy addition as Touch Off, unfortunately.
