The units have set but based of this post it must not be set to specific unit :

When i changed the unit in freecad to meter also be using the distance tools i get same as before ( when it was on its default as mm!) like this:
so i think it must be have one default data which freecad based of that convert the points distance to new units and dont know how it done/
anyway my problem is the cloudcopmare which based of this post have not any specific unit setting :

Now i have two stl file like this:
which give me this output data like this:
And the question is the c2m distance are based of what? ( mm or 1/x of mm ),
so for example the difference for first point of target stl file with reference is -3.303671 mm or etc unit!?
Do i need to ask about the setting of scanner device or can i found it by myself?
The reference stl file could be downloaded from here and the targets to be compared with it also uploaded here.
I guess it must be mm but not sure and asked here to be clarified.
