No problem, you're welcome!

As I mentioned, many settings are stored in the DXF file.
These settings are available through Current Drawing Preferences and they remain even after a re-install.

There are also settings in Windows Registry or Linux config files which can withstand a re-install.

Concerning the mm/Inch problem, this is addressed from time to time, but there is no real solution.
I think there was never a developer who has native Inch experience and knows about the conversion issues.
So working in mm is well tested and intuitive, but using Inch probably needs some preparation and experience.

There are also often issues because of wrong drawing settings. People create drawings in Inch, with units set to mm and vice versa.
This is not an issue for them because it works basically, but when it comes to public sharing others struggle with such files.

So it's not only a matter of missing manpower or experience, but also problematic to find an automatic solution for the mm/Inch conversion, especially with faulty DXF files.
