Irritation when Saving Sketchs

Ive encountered a very irritating issue when saving Sketches to DXFs for third party Cutting/bending.

The new pop up window with the "Units" drop down box is behaving very weirdly.

When I right click on a sketch and select "Export DXF" the popup window comes up but the Units are set to Centimeters even though the sketch units are in inches and no metric units were used as can be seen in this photo.

Where things get really frustrating is when I create a DXF of a flat pattern, the window pops up but instead it says "Units" as shown below.

This is REALLY easy to overlook and I have spent several hours having to throw out dxfs that I didn't notice this for and recreating all of them. And its very annoying to have to take the extra step to change the units every time.

Of course if you then upload one of these metric unit parts into online producers, the part size is way off. thankfully I noticed this issue BEFORE I ordered a bunch of micro sized parts.

Why doesn't the units box default to the units used in the model? then if you want to use an alternate unit you can change it. This is really annoying.

Think this has come up before and it's because you have custom units set up for your design, in,lbmass rather than in,ouncemass. The bug was reported a few weeks ago.
