[solved] Use inch only, not foot & inch

Post by cindysdad » Wed Jan 06, 2016 5:55 am

Qcad 3.10.0 32bit on Win7sp1 64bit.
I want to use inches only, no feet. How do I get rulers and measurements at bottom of page to work this way?
Thank you.

Set linear dimension format to 'Fractional' or 'Decimal' (vs. Engineering or Architectural which show feet).

Thank you. Very fast response. And solved my problems (after updating to 3.12.4.1, which I was going to do anyway).
:D :D :D
