Re: Display dimensions in inches only?Hello, Sirs - Hansmex and Puybaret.
Thank you for your support and replies. I stumbled upon this thread while looking how to do the same thing - make my dimensions to display inches with fractions only vs feet inches fractions. and decided to add my 2 cents. to the conversation.
I understand it might sound silly by me trying to describe it. But I am assuming you (Puybaret) have never seeing US measuring tape. Rulers in US, have marks for inches, feet and fraction of inch between inch marks. - pretty much like standard meter tapes with its millimeters. The smallest that I saw on regular tape (not digital device with LCD display etc.) is 1/32, which is less then 1 mm (0.8 ruffly).
Lets say my wall is measuring 12 feet and change. At the 12 foot mark it says 12' but at the 12' 8 1/4" it says 152 1/4 and that is what I'm writing in my sketch. Now I'm trying to build the wall by typing in dimensions I type 152.25 and it does conversion for me nicely. But i have nothing to compare to without recalculating it and writing it down in the case if something got moved by accident
.
You did broke down metric system to only meters, centimeters and millimeters, why not to do the same with yards feet and inches?
Thank you for your time and attention.
