In my opinion, bug 98453 is not a duplicate of bug 83325, but they are related.

Bug 98453 is about a problem with the units of measure with the current
framework of Draw. If in the Draw global settings the units of measure are
centimeters, and a Draw file saved in inches is opened, Draw should adjust or
change the default units for the units of the file in that instance. As the
rulers do.

The bug 83325 is a request for making the settings of the grid, the units of
measure and the scale, part of the file properties, and not the global settings
of Draw. Then Draw will use it to adjust the instance of the working file to
that settings, and it will not be necessary to define those settings in Tools -
Options - General.

If this is not likely to be developed, at least bug 98453 should be attended so
the users can work with drawings with different units, without having to go to
Tools - Options - General, to change the default units, each time a drawing
with different units is opened.

Although it will be necessary to keep going to Tools - Options - General, to
define a new drawing file, when the units of measure were different from the
usual units used.

I think this could be the first step for further development of bug 83325; if
Draw can adjust those settings in the working instance of the file, then later
on can be developed the code to include the grid, units and scale settings to
the file properties, that override the default or global settings, and
ultimately be removed.

Sadly I still can't participate with coding, but I am studying and preparing
myself to get involved. But is a slow process.
