Summary: Having to recalculate decimal feet to get ft - inches and the inch fraction on a calculator for each measurement is not acceptable. This should be an option for the measure command.
Description: I would like to have an architectural unit in the measure command.
How Used: Coming from MDT and doing structural design I used the distance command often to check the design and make sure we were within tolerance. In Acad and MDT, distance output is based on current units, which is usually architectural for structural steel here in the south (USA). It's what I understand and all the welders and fitters here understand.
