"Units" setting on import DXF dialog missing/bugged out? (Stuck on sheet metal exercise)

I'm going through the Thicken exercise in the Simultaneous Sheet Metal course and hit a snag on slide 8 of the instructions, where it calls for a DXF file to be imported. The note says to "make sure the units are set to Inch on the insert dialog..."
...but when I go to insert the drawing, the Units setting is either missing or permanently shoved out of my reach beyond the bottom of the viewport:
This is a problem because importing the DXF as-is causes it to be undersized, and while it can be scaled freehand with the transform tool, I can't find a way to "snap" that scale to the one suggested by the rest of the existing geometry. I would either be scaling freehand or guessing-and-checking (itself a problem because the self-check is going to ask me about the surface area of the sheet affected by this sketch).
Has the Units setting been removed or is this a bug on my end with the viewport? Either way, how do I get around this?
