Dimensions in ft-inches
#7
Quote:...When I changed the dimension drop down box, it comes up with a measurement that does not make sense.
i.e 28.50 units using .1 equals 2'-5" using 4'3" in the dorp down.

Ahhh!...but it DOES make sense Mark! Here's why....

  1. Your dimension "discrimination" (smallest measurable unit) is 1" (because of the chosen (4'3") format).
  2. This means that all units that are less than 1" will automatically be rounded to the nearest 1"
  3. 28.50 is equivalent to 2'- 4 1/2"
  4. therefore the number had to be rounded to the nearest inch (2'-5") because of the chosen format!
  5. Had you chosen the 4'-3 1/2" format your dimension would have shown to be 2'- 4 1/2"
