How to set 1 in G0 X1 to 1MM instead of 1 inch? was created by wang
Hello everyone
I have a question. Since our commonly used length unit is MM, but linuxcnc defaults the G code length unit to inches, what should I do to set the G code length unit to MM
For example: G0 X1 (1=1MM)

In your .ini file [TRAJ]- section set 'LINEAR_UNITS to 'mm':
LINEAR_UNITS = mm
Make sure you also change the machine velocities/accelerations for your configuration.
LINEAR_UNITS = mm
