Hi, if you have the machine set to run in inch by default and that is working then to switch to mm ( metric ) issue a G21 command, this switches into mm, G20 goes back to inch, so depending on what your gcode is in either mm or inch, just have a G20 or G21 at the beginning of your code, I think this is right as it works for my system, that is by default setup to run in inches.

Here's a link that may help.
