Grid dimensioning unit-of-measure don't match designing unit of measure

This isn’t quite a bug, but an aesthetic point.

The lower right of the grid shows the spacing with a little <----> dimension with 10 cm on the spacing, but I have explicitly set my default unit of measure to mm with: @settings(defaultLengthUnit = mm)

It feels like they ought to match, though this is of course a super minor matter.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that there is a visual disconnect between the 3D’s unit of measure and the one in the UI/KCL code.

I’ve created a github issue to make note of this issue.

For what it is worth, when you scroll in and out the indicator in the 3D scene will change based on the zoom level.

The grid size will change and indicate what scale it is at. As you can see in my example it is displaying metric and imperial which is even more confusing.

I think at a bare minimum we should resolve the confusion of metric vs imperial when looking at the grid scale vs the unit of measure in the KCL.

I do not think it is inherently wrong that the scale of the grid changes? This can be reassessed.
