Main menu Dimensions > User Grid Size Select mm Set X and Y to 1.0 OK --- or --- select inches set X and Y to 0.0394 OK In main screen, use the grid select drop down (just under the rubbish bin icon) and at the bottom of the list is user grid. select that and you should be set. Remember to use the rel co-ords at the bottom of the screen. (hit space to zero them) also note that the mm or inches measurement unit icons on the left hand toolbar apply to them so you can switch between units to check things out. There will be a slight error at times due to rounding, if I remember correctly kicad uses imperial measurements internally and there is a conversion done between them and metric.
