Hi @aristoys58 

While post processing you can simply change the output unit to metric as shown

Hello,

How about if I have cad in metric, so that I do not need to change my cad to imperial when I want to post processor, then I send it back to metric. I mean, if I have my cad in metric, I need to convert every number from metric to imperial then entered into post processor. The number such as plunge rate, cut height, pierce height, etc. should be in imperial entered into post processor. That's what I did so far.

Thanks for the answer anyway.

I have my fusion 360 updated yesterday, I found the post processor work with metric, I do not need to convert it to imperial then to metric again. I will try again. So problem solved.
