How to batch export GMG grid/point files with M instead of mm?

in Elevation Data
GMG files are in mm. THey are nice and fast to use when dealing with big data sets. When you export individual files from GM to say XYZ or Surfergrid, you can select meters as the export format. 
When you do the same with batch exporter, there is no way to export in M. it defaults to the GBG preset (mm) and when i import my files in fledermaus, QGIS etc, the files are in mm (vertical). 

Anyway to batch process GBG files without this issue?
thanks!

    Hello,

    The Batch Convert screen has a drop-down list where you can pick the vertical units to use. You can choose "Source Unit" or a specific unit, such as meters. Is this not working for you?

    Cheers,
