Hi.  Is there any way that anyone has found to change the default measurement unit in C6 to Inches?  I hate having to go into the interface tab every time I start a new project and I like using inches for more precise control.  There has to be some way to change it, but I have been unable to find it.

Not that I've come across.

If you had inches you would still be getting decimal parts of inches. 1.5" etc. 
In effect there are 10 inches to a foot in Carrara.
For those  of us who converted to decimals years ago, but still think a lot in inches and feet, it realy is only a very small mental gap to jump.

I never liked decimals. :)  I just never could get used to it, which is why I get messed up when working in C6 feet.  I typically work with grids set at .125 in.  or 1/8 inch or even finer.  A lot of my older files seem to have trouble when I chenge to feet from their inches.  Their grids don't match up anymore and they can get distorted.
