Support for imperial units #204

Closed donkjr closed 7 years ago

donkjr commented 7 years ago

Currently LW ignores a G20. Impact on user: it renders a Gcode file with imperial units like it was metric. Any Gcode program using G20 will be incompatible with LW Solution recommendation: As a minimum: I think it should at least post an error to notify the user that it did not render correctly Ideally I would like to see LW support the G20 code.

Internal CAM is all metric. If user loads external GCODE, onus is on them to make sure its valid for LW's use (S values in correct places, correct units, correct start/emd gcodes, etc
