+--- Thread: Entering a line length using feet/inches (/showthread.php?tid=962)
Entering a line length using feet/inches - mstone - 03-05-2018
When drawing a line and setting the length I would like to be able to do it in feet/inches instead of tenths. Can this be changed?
I have version 8.0.12
Thank you.

mstone,
When entering a value for line length you can enter either decimal or fractional values. Just be sure that when entering fractional values you leave a space between the whole value and the fraction. ie.
Decimal 1.25
Fractional 1(space)1/4
or 1' 1 1/4 << Note the single quote for feet. Double quote for inches is optional, but space between whole inch and fraction is mandatory ( 1' 1 1/4" ).

Thank you, my 4' 6 line was showing as 40' so I started a new doucment and it works. Something in my page settings must have been messing with it.
