LightBurn v1.7.03 translated ALL burns to mm

[CastIronBakery (John Arbon)]

I updated to LighBurn v1.7.03 and found that my drawings that were in Inches, burn in mm.

So, a 14" circle if the UoM is left in Inches, burns as a 14mm circle. If I change the UoM to mm before the burn, the 14" circle burns at the correct dimension.

I’ve been through the settings, but do not recognize any of them that would automatically translate a UoM of Inches to be mm in the execution.

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Are those drawings done in LightBurn or another program?

If the latter and you’re importing DXFs, then:

Settings/Preferences - LightBurn Documentation

The Auto-detect units machinery sometimes detects the wrong units, so, if the drawings are always in inches, forcing the outcome may increase overall happiness.

If they’re starting out as LightBurn drawings, then something else is amiss.

You may want to load the preferences auto-saved before doing the update:

Managing Preferences - LightBurn Documentation

[CastIronBakery (John Arbon)]

Drawings are native/drawn in LightBurn.

I’ll check out the Preferences and see if anything there can help.

What I find odd, is that this started happening just after the update.

There seems to be a universal jank afflicting recent updates, although I have not seen a plausible explanation. Restoring a set of pre-apocalypse preferences seems to fix themess for most folks, so that’s certainly worth trying.
