No way but inches. I have banged my hand into that one several "versions"
back. I guess that this is a non-paying issue for MI and they have avoided
dealing with it.
I had to design a metric layout and fine tuning would have been easy
directly on the wor, but when you have to convert +.35mm in a measure given
in inches, all the fun is gone.
Let's have another volley of 4 in. gun at them (that's all I can afford!)

Subject: MI units of measure in workspaces
I have a simple question about workspaces and units used by MI.
Does Mi always write workspaces in inches?
I am trying to create workspaces that use metric paper units. So far I have
been unable to create a workspace that contains frame positions, text
placement, etc. in metric units. I have set system preferences, distance
units, etc to metric values. I have even tried setting my computer to use
metric units, all to no avail. When I save a workspace and then examine it
in a text editor the layout units are in inches, not "mm".
I am based in the US and so don't normally deal with metric units, any
comments would be welcome.
Thanks
Philip
