Problem: I need to export DXFs (as one does for a plasma cutter) the default units for DXF export are set to cm. My document settings are set to custom: mm and kg.
The DXF export feature is not following the document settings when custom units are used. Its even worse if I set my units to the custom option of inches and pounds; again DXF export defaults to cm.
Using the pulldown to change the DXF unit export once is not remembered; this task would have to be performed every single time one wants to export a DXF (50+ times in my case).
If I change my document units back to the default options i.e. mm & grams, or inch and ounces, then the DXF export defaults follow the document settings.
This is all non-intuitive software behavior. 99% of the work I do uses mm+kg or inches+lbs, The recent introduction of custom units finally meant that I no longer needed to constantly toggle unit settings when checking weights, but now I have to toggle whenever exporting DXFs.
