Change default size unit in LaserCad?

I am using Big Blue Saw DXF Output in Inkscape to test DXFs and I have noticed that while Inkscape is in inches, LaserCAD wants to function in millimeters.

The problem is that when I import a DXF to LaserCAD, the inches from Inkscape turn into mm's in LC and thus, really tiny.

Is there a way to change the default size unit... or the unit in general in LaserCAD? I just installed the 7.6 version on a new computer.

I have the ACW608... is this controller locked to LaserCAD?? I have noticed a few strange behaviors with LC.

I appreciate the information; thank you.

There is no way to select LaserCad to work in Metric or Imperial (Yet...)
Simple thing you can do is just import your file, select all (CtrlA) and scale it to 2540% (blue percentage sign in the topbar)

See if you Inkscape has the possibility to export DXF in Metric...

What are the strange behaviours with LC? (there is always Ctrl-Z when things go unplanned)
