Possible to set Pad Editor to use unit mm as defult?

Magnetcore

Is there a way to set Pad Editor to always use mm as default? I am always making the footprints in mm but sometimes I forget to set it at startup of pad editor and then have to go back and redo the pads. Would be good if its possible to set mm to be used as default.

Thanks.

    Yes, open PCB Editor and go to Setup>User Preferences>drawing>new_design and set the padstack_editor_new_units and accuracy to suit
