Sorry, I did not do this, at least not intentionally. :) Therefore if you're seeing it, it probably does not work :) Mostly I added DMils2iu( int_constant ) so that the PAD margins would not blow up since they were not being scaled. A hard coded 100 became DMils2iu( 100 ) which then is a sensible internal unit, equal in length to 100 deci-mils. As I said last week, do not save your BOARD in legacy format with a USE_KICAD_NANOMETER build, since it will be saved in millimeters. Yet your footprints will be in deci-mils and you will have a mess. The flag USE_KICAD_NANOMETER tells LEGACY_PLUGIN to convert old board units to nanometers, in RAM during Load() and on disk during Save(). This special build is only for generating the s-expression file, then recompile please.
