OK, so the "default" view is the split-apart view, with the other, "real" view being available.
I switched the units to Imperial Decimal, and that did seem to work for some dimensions - I discovered if you want to change dimensions, you have to put "in" after the number... "0.025" will not work to affect a change, but "0.025 in" will.
Now, however, I have tried to run the G-code for this on my unit (using a stubby broken bit in my motor), and find that it moves to position, goes down INTO the wood and attempts to move in the circular pattern, WITHOUT the motor running. So, have to abort the running... Looking at the G-code that FC creates, I see that Z numbers are TOTALLY wrong... I have it set to step down by 0.025, starting at 0.00 (see Profile pic). The G-code is totally messed up, as it starts the first step @ -0.635, 2nd step down is -1.270, 3rd is -1.915, 4th (last) is -2.540 - see the Overall view for this.
My piece is 0.10" thick!!
Viewing the model view of the piece shows it looks fine:

Looking at the overall view, however, shows a problem:

The program is also funky... note that the word "Job" is missing from the tree now... and, if I click on "Stock 001", the program crashes.
I deleted the Job, created a new one, Same results. Sigh.
