    Set mm as default units when importing DXF/DWG file

    ctopher I read through your link but it never mentioned how to set the default import dxf file unit to mm.

    Welding 4140 to T-1 high tensile steel

    The end of the 4140 solid round will have a 0.6" (16mm) weld chamfer but the others will be fillet weld of about 0.6" (16mm). We have to have a few runs to get to 0.6" but I guess that is not going to change anything to the preheat? You suggest to wrap the T-1 plates. Do you have a link to a...
