Magnetism and fractions of an inch
Someone else posted about using cm instead of mm -- and the solution was to zoom out.

I'm working in feet/inches and I have the same problem of starting a wall at a fraction of an inch. It is tedious to go back and modify the wall to place it accurately.

Am I missing something but are the coordinates of the cursor not displayed? This would help if I knew that my cursor was exactly 3' 0" from a reference point instead of 3' 3/8"

Since I'm a noob, am I just not seeing it?

Thank you for such a wonderful application.

Re: Magnetism and fractions of an inch
Zooming out doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Purchased the Windows version and sent a donation. The 3D view was essential for my wife and I to understand our floor plan. Really showed us some bottlenecks. Thanks again.

Re: Magnetism and fractions of an inch
When I want a size to be exact, I use the create dimensions tool.



First I pick one wall, if I want to change vertical I pick the wall at the horizontal, if its horizontal, well I pick vertical. Let me show you an example.



In this I pick the vertical one then would use the create dimensions. I would zoom in the image, put my cursor on the wall I want to check, in this case the horizontal one and move the vertical wall, with the keyboard arrow till I get my 8'8" size.

They might be an easier way to do this, but for me this work very well.

Re: Magnetism and fractions of an inch
Yes, very helpful... thank you. I've quit using it for CAD and just stick with the quick 3D renderings.
