Ah ah, I can't count the number of times this question was asked.

CC is 'unit agnostic'. It reads the coordinates as they are stored in the file. It simply uses the coordinates as is, hence distances or similar values will be expressed in the same (implicit) units. The user should generally be able to determine the units. Anyway, the units are almost never specified in most of the file formats. So CC has no way to know that.
