Entering a line length using feet/inches

[mstone]

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.
