Hi Erik, On the Preferences tab you need to change the preamble to G21 for metric. The rest of the facing page will not make any difference if you use metric or inch. The tapping hole making is in inch only at this point and I just discovered it doesn't add the preamble to the top of the G code.
I have a series of tutorials on Python Gtk and Glade that should get you up to speed fast. http://gnipsel.com/glade/index.html I prefer to break my code up as much as possible to making maintaining easier with smaller files.
