running emc in mm units

Hi forum

Its been over a week after i got released from the
Jail (Counter Stucking problem) :-)
I have tuned all the three axis so far and my milling
machine
is running in manual, auto and mdi modes in inches
units.
I want to run it now in mm units since in my country
most people work
in mm than in inches.

The variable "LINEAR_UNITS" is found in [TRAJ] section
the other
three "UNITS" variables are found in [AXIS_X]
sections.

I had set the LINEAR_UNITS found in TRAJ section to
1.0 so that
i can run my machine in milimeters. But it doesnot
works.
Instead it disturbs the scaling of my machine.

Can EMC work both in MM and inches just by selecting
the units
from the menu bar? or do we need separate ini files
for
running emc in inches and milimeters?

I am very happy since my axis are tuned after spending
lot of
my time playing with P,I,D and Velocity Feed Forward
gain.
Will I have to retune all these variables if i
configure emc
to work in mm??

Please write some words about running the EMC in
milimeters
and inches.

Thanks and best regards.
Babar
