When I have MM selected, the Edit Text Shape window appears to be reporting inches. The font was supposed to show 10mm instead.
Also, when using the measuring tool, it seems to default to inches even though MM is selected in the MM button at the top.
Do I have something set somewhere else that is forcing inches to display?
Strange indeed. I am not seeing this (win 11)
I canât think of any setting that would cause this but it wouldnât surprise me if there was !
The workspace grid is set to Inch mode and I think the workspace-related windows track that setting so the units match.
You can change the Numeric Edits and Measure tools to use / display millimeters while tinkering with a specific object, but those donât affect the workspace.
I think itâs like that, anyway.
Can you post a screenshot like the above but also including the size boxes?
Yes, I see the workspace scale is in inches, although I have MM selected. I need to go back and figure out why my scale is not in MM. 
I am using âmmâ scale, and if I change to Inches the text box changes too.
Win 10 Lightburn V1.7.03
I just opened the same file that had the scale wrong, and it showed MM for the scale markings.
I switch between MM and IN a LOT, so this may be difficult to repeat. However, I am now aware it can happen, so I will be watching for it. 
The Workspace grid units are different from the Numeric Edits units, so you can mix-n-match if your head is less prone to exploding than mine. 
The grid units come from Edit â Settings and are pretty much set-n-forget (in millimeters for me, anyway).
The Numeric Edits units come from that pushbutton, but switching affects only the fields in that tool. It starts out matching the grid.
The Measure tool units are independent of both of those, although the units starts out matching the Workspace grid.
So (I think) what you see is what you should see, given the Workspace grid setting.
@MikeyH if it helps, you can enter either inch or mm in most edit boxes to help with conversion. In fact, there is a lot of power in the âEquationsâ features added with the release of version 0.08.07 back in December, 2018.
Directly from Oz:
Equations:
This one is a pet project of mine: LightBurnâs X & Y position, width, height, scale, and interval entry boxes now support expressions and units. What does this mean for you?
If you type 1/2in, and youâre in mm mode, itâll turn into 12.7. If youâre in inch mode and type 1/2in, itâll become 0.5. You can use ft, cm, in, or mm, along with normal math symbols and parenthesis (*/-+). You can combine them, so entering (1/2in + 3mm) * 2.5 + 1ft is valid. You can type 1/300in in the interval box to have it convert â300 lines per inchâ into an interval for you. This should make working in mixed units easier.
Over the next release or two Iâll be replacing other number boxes with the new equation entry box, but itâll take a bit of time.
Indeed! I knew that math was supported in input boxes, but units too is even better. Thanks!
Update: Now that I know this (and it works!), do not expect me to hunt down whatever caused my funky display.
