Running Calypso 7.6 Version.
This morning an inspection plan written in 2021, last saved in March 2023 was opened and a part was ran, it reported out in metric. (we run in inches).
There was no crash, machine operated as it should.
Checked: Extras, Settings, Language, Units and it was set to metric ?!?

This is part #97 ran on this program, previous parts reported out in inch as expected.
Once we changed Setting to inch parts are reporting out as expected.

There are other employees with access to Zeiss programs.
Has anyone else had a program switch measurements?
Have not update Calypso since mid-2022, could it have been a Microsoft update that caused this change?

If you go to resources-feature setting editor-length unit, and set it to inches then that program will be set to inches no matter what the default under Extras gets changed to.

I ran into a similar situation twice using 2021.
The program provided was metric, the last program I ran was in inch.
When I opened the metric program it defaulted to inch, which went undetected until the report came up.
Prior to 2016, I've never had this happen, if a program was set to metric it stayed metric and vice versa.

When you create a program, the unit setting in the program is "default", not mm or inch. If your machine is set to inch, the program will produce inch results. If you send me your program and my machine is set to metric, it will produce results in metric.

If you change the units in the program from "default" to inch, it will run in inch on my metric machine.
