Units request

Post by bobself » Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:47 pm

I have my drawing units set to inches so I can enter in 5.5" etc from the command line, but the measuring tool and dimensions (?) also show in inches. I'd like those to be in feet+inches. I could set the drawing units to feet, but then it's difficult to enter 5.5". It would be nice if manually entered numbers could parse feet and inches, so that I could enter 10' 5.25", for example.

You're likely looking for:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format > Linear Dimensions > Format: Engineering
