Units inconsistent?

Post by moon » Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:29 pm

In the "Edit Current Drawing Preferences" dialog (Units tab) I set the Main Dwg Unit to inch and the Length Format to Architectural. The status bar shows lengths in feet and inches as it should. When I create dimensions, they are also shown in feet and inches as they should be. However when I use any of the distance measuring tools under the Info menu the answer comes out in inches only (i.e 25 instead of 2' 1").
I'm using version 2.0.5.0 Community edition on Ubuntu.

Is there any way to get the distance measuring tools to give answers in feet-inches?

Sincere thanks,
Bill

No, this is not possible with QCAD Community or Pro at this point.
