A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Some times i get gcode that was done in imperial and when its imported into octoprint bettergrblesupport it assumes its metric so an object thats lets say 1 inch by 1 inch when windowed it is 1 mm by 1 mm this also affects the movement speeds.

Please upload a GCode file for reference and to assist with understanding the nature of the issue you are reporting.

I have to say I'm at a loss as Grbl controls the means of measurement. I'm guessing this is an aesthetic issue as you are correct in assuming I favor metric measurements.

cutting board stand inches and mm.zip
I uploaded an example of the gcode in both units of measurement. When you window them you'll see what I mean by it doesn't detect imperial units.
