Simplify speed setting

I got a new printer for Christmas and am trying to set up simplify for it. The speed listed for the printer is listed in mm/sec unites but Simplify request that speeds are entered in mm/min unites. it is no problem to convert yo convert these unites ( mm/min = 60*mm/sec) my question is: is this a typo in Simplify? Most Slicers use the unites of mm/sec as do equipment manufactures.

My new printer, Creality CR-10 SE. has a travel speed 600mm/sec which would be 36,000mm/min in Simplify which seems pretty high.

Re: Simplify speed setting

You can choose either unit system by going to Tools > Options. However, we typically use mm/min by default, since that's the same unit system you will see in your gcode files (most firmwares require the speed to be written in mm/min).
