Displaying measurements in feet-inches
Displaying measurements in feet-inches
(OP)
In the measure distance box of a model, is there a way to get the value to display feet and inches. I know you can do this in a drawing, but I cant make it happen in a model.
example value: 39 1/2"
I want: 3' 3-1/2"
or: 3ft 3.5in
I can get: 39.5in
I can get: 3.25ft
Just figured since i can make it show up on a drawing i could do the same on a model, maybe I'm wrong.
any help would be amazing. Seems like an architect type desire right?

Try 3'-3 1/2" instead.

I work on everything from precession machined parts to 500ft long building layouts. If a customer calls and asks about clearance i get tired of measuring and mumbling under my breather divide by 12. And if i request 3650in of belt the shop will cut it wrong every time. Its truly not a big deal but its a minor inconvenience. And honestly I want individual parts to display measurements in inches and assemblies in ft/in with fractions, but that is asking a lot.
thank you for the responses sorry i asked the wrong question.

In the drawing environment, you can dimension something and change your annotations default to "Architecture" which will display your dimensions on the drawing in Feet and Inches, as if on a floor plan blueprint.
