I'll see if I can figure out a more robust solution since I already have
made it fail in my branch. Since some have expressed a preference
displaying both the metric and imperial unit grid sizes at together, I
won't change that. The only question is where to save the setting.
Currently it is saved in the .pro file in the pcbnew section. This is a
workable solution as long as the whole project moves together. If you
want to save the setting in the .brd file, that will need to be
implemented. That may take me a bit longer as I am not as familiar with
the .brd file format as I am with schematic and component file library
formats.
