How mad is that, i didnt even check that because its a fresh install on a new pc and i know i selected MM, then in manual mode it worked fine, however, not with a program loaded with a g-code instruction stating metric!!. well it looks like you were correct, because when i checked it was set to Metric.... so go figure???
