Hello. I have found it difficult to find reliable Onefinity specific data associated with Buildbotics Onefinity with Rotary. The one problem I have is that I think and work using imperial units. From what you are saying, I need to use the Onefinity BB WrapY2S (mm) post processor. My goal at the moment is to laser engrave several Yeti mugs I have for family, so my question to you is: 1) If I go ahead and use the above (mm) post processor, do I then need to change my default units in VCarve to metric (mm)? 2) Do I then also need to switch my BB controller default units to metric (mm) also? If both 1) and 2) are yes, then I am basically stuck using metric from hence forward. Is there a plan to create an imperial (in) wrapping post processor? Thanks.

Nope, when doing work in imperial units in your cad then exporting in metric, the post processor does the conversions automatically.
