I have not been able to control the units used in a WOR. MI always generates those values in inches even if commands can be written to control position and/or size in other units. If my recollection is correct, when I asked that question to tech support eons ago the answer was that it Worked As Designed.

Is there anyway I can change the units written to the *.wor file to metric values? I have already tried changing Options -> preferences -> System Settings to Paper and Layout units: centimetres. This changes the on-screen rulers, but it does not change the values or units written to file when a workspace is saved. I want to set layout frame size and positions to specific metric parameters without having to work out imperial to metric conversions. Any assistance much appreciated.
