Initial dimensions and loading DXF files

Hi I have two questions:
1) When I first start LibreCad, my dimensions of a grid box are 100 units.  I would like to see my grids to show that each box is 1 inch.  I always have to zoom out a lot until a grid box shows 1" dimensions.  Is there a way to set this?
2) I have opened draws on the web and every time I see a blank screen.  I have to zoom arbitrarily in or out until I see something appear.  Many times this is so tiny it doesn't make sense.  So what do I do in this case?

Ok one other question...why are units so difficult in Librecad..are there any tutorials that specifically explain this?

Thanks
