3D CAM module, Origin and selecting entity

Hi Art
Have been doing some spokes on my clock wheels, and have come across a little problem. I use origin 0,0 in the centre of the work area when performing multiple operations especially on wheels etc.
I notice on all my computers (Mac & PC) that you can not select the wheel if you have 0,0 in centre table, you have to start at bottom left, select wheel, move 0,0 to centre table then place the wheel correctly. All seems OK after that.
I also note that if you set up a metric tool and use feed in inches (in toolbox) the feed is incorrect, appears to remain in mm.
Like how both 3 & 4 axis are turning out. :)
