I just need them to add physical units/rulers/grids so I can dump Illustrator for creating SVG cut files for my CNC

I am assuming he does because when I had to use a CNC and laser cutter, we needed measurements in cms/inches (for “SVG cut files”)

Exactly – my primary use case for vector software these days is designing 2d files for objects to be cut on a CNC.

Figma operates in an abstract space — you can make 10.0 mean anything you want, like for example millimeters. When feeding a CNC router data, tell it what 10.0 means. If you use high-level software it may read this from density metadata like dpi in a PDF (which you can set/edit.)
