Unless you're doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it's decimal inch notation.
The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It's a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion
