Here's the Beta 12 with the following features:
- Existing Inch unit was renamed as Foot/Inch/Fraction, then modified to always display the closest eighth inch fraction for lengths shown in the furniture table and in the plan, and to remove decimals for areas expressed in square foot.
- The Inch/Decimals unit was added to preferences Unit choice, and displays decimals of an inch for lengths shown in the furniture table and in the plan, and for areas expressed in square foot.
- The shortcut of the 3D view > Display in separate window / Display in main window menu item was set to ctrl + alt + Y (cmd + alt Y under Mac OS X) and program shortcuts were enabled in the separated 3D view.
- Line thickness was reduced in prints and PDF files (this feature was already programmed in previous Beta but I forgot to mention it).
As the following screen capture shows, Unit radio boxes were replaced by a combo box proposing the 5 available units.
If there are some users of the Imperial system (i.e. foot/inch) reading this message, I'll be pleased to know their opinion about the unit change. It was a request of some users and I tried to program a logical solution that could be easy to understand. But as a Metric system guy, I could have missed something...
