I work almost exclusively in mm and until today the Machine Inspector in Easel always showed the machine position and work position in mm. Today it’s showing it in inches even though when I use G30 it moves it to the right postion. When I use the jog buttons they move the correct number of mm. Has anyone else noticed this? Although it moves the correct distance it’s just a bit disconcerting to see it shown this way. Is there some way to change the Machine Inspector’s indications back to mm?
Thank you, Phil. How did I know that you would have the answer?? I will check that out tomorrow. Thanks again! Your help is much appreciated by all of us!

Correct, as usual, Phil. I don’t know what could have made the change to $13 but I changed it back to $13=0 and it’s working just as before. Thanks again!

If Easel is the only software used, then I think it is an Easel issue.
$13 is an grbl setting, but the fact that $13 got changed is most likely something going on in Easel.
Either a setting got changed whereby Easel decided to change to mm, or a bug somewhere caused the change.
If software other than Easel is in the mix, then your mileage will vary (quite a bit).
Would be my guess.
One problem with Easel is that it is constantly changing. Since it is web based and they don’t provide release notices things change in what appears to be a random order without any user notification. The more you change software the more likely you are to introduce regressive type problems.
