Good point, and point taken. The units are assumed to be inches for now, but you're right, I didn't specify in my email, nor do I think it's explicitly specified in the produced g-code. My intent at this point was that the max allowed difference is 0.0005 inches. There's still lots to do here of course, and unifying and clarifying units is certainly one of the things that needs work.
Thanks for your feedback!
