Imperial or Metric export

Hey all, never posted on here before. Have 3 machines currently. The question at hand is I do all my design in Imperial as I’m more familiar with it. Is it better to export in Metric to the machines? All machines I have are using the bb controller. I’ve never had an issue with exporting on Imperial, but since the machines operate in metric at their core, will this give me a more precise end result?

I don’t think accuracy will be affected at all. I’d say whatever your more comfortable with will lead to less silly mistakes.

Thanks MikeXYZ, I do use strictly Imperial as it’s what I was taught in School obviously. I was just bored and was thinking about CAMotics and being developed in Metric. Figured I’d ask thinking it’d be more accurate. Onefinity reached out to me on a different platform to let me know it doesn’t improve anything since it converts from IN to MM.
