Post Units of Measure

Input

This feature allows you to define the format of the data that the postprocessor will read to produce the machine control data file. Select inch or metric.

Output

This feature allows you to define the format of the data that the postprocessor will output to the machine control data file. Select inch or metric.

Option File

This feature allows you to define the format the option file generator will use to store its internal dimensional variables. Select inch or metric. Choosing either will indicate to the option file generator that any dimensional data you enter will be of the form chosen.
