Public bug reported:
In previous releases, the footprint wizard obeyed the current selection
for metric or imperial units on the left side of the wizard. So if you
had "mm" selected, the footprint wizard would expect you to enter pad
sizes and pitch in mm. If you had "in" selected, the footprint wizard
would expect the same fields in inches. This appears to have stopped in
5.1.5. The wizard is now locked in metric units, making it pretty
annoying to use the wizard to generate footprints from source documents
that don't have metric units.
