The flag USE_PCBNEW_NANOMETRES causes untested code to be called.   It might be better to
simply convert a couple of the demo boards and post them on the list.

I think compiling with this flag USE_PCBNEW_NANOMETRES is mostly trouble at this point.


In any case, users should not expect *anything* "saved" from a build like this to be
use-able in any way.  This is at best just a way to output a "read only" sample.

This is also true of legacy file format, with this nano-meter flag enabled.
