Good day.

Is it possible to work in metric and inches at the same time?
Aside of Moi I use vcarve in which lets say the distance is 500mm
you enter in the box 500*i= it will convert to inches and vice versa...

Which is a time saver.

Hi Matadam, yes you can do that in MoI by putting the units label at the end of your entry.

So for example you can put in 500in into a field while your main units are centimeters.

The units labels are: mm, cm, m, km, in, ft, mi .

Wow! That's a good thing to know! I usually work in mm; but, a friend is using MOI to design pinball machines that will be cut with a CNC router and I sometimes have to create some things in inches. This is really going to be helpful!
