Default Units

Hello Onshape and G'day from Australia, I often start a new document with a simple shape and as soon as I try to dimension it realize I'm in the wrong units. I almost never use inches or pounds and would like to not use imperial units as a default. I wonder if you could add a "choose default" setting for units that will carry across all documents when they are created. A simple "metric' or "imperial" button would be very nice. That option may even already be there, and I just haven't found it. Don't know if others want this - its really not a great problem just a minor irritation to an otherwise very smooth program. Excellent work, can't praise you guys enough. brian medlock.

@brian_medlock: the forum software will keep pestering you until you flag a question as answered.
It does not permit you to flag your own answer to your own question (even though it's correct)
so feel free to flag this post as if it were an answer, if you wish, otherwise the question will forever remain open.1
