AutoCAD and Draftsight are commercial software, with paid developers who can be told to do this or that. In LibreCAD many things could be done for improvement, but they are not done. By someone. There is no one.
Besides, not every image is coming from a scanner and does have a dpi value.
And not every drawing is in inches, and so on.

To keep things simple (softwarewise), some brainwork is left to the user. This has the positive side effect it's easier to achieve what you want sometimes. It can be a pain to get an automatic to do what you want.

OK, in the user interface it should be more obvious what to do. Or at least a better documentation, with examples.
