    Default distance

    question 1: when I do a distance on the offset command it only allows me to do inches not feet and inches. how do I change that?
    question 2: when I do area say on a 10 by 10 box it should say 100 square feet, but the square footage is not showing up. I do it from point to point to point etc... and it says area 14400.000 and perimeter 480.000 how do I fix that?
    question 3: when I hatch something and its wrong, I go to erase the hatch and all the outside lines go too. how do I fix that?

    Thank You very much
    Paul

    answer to questions 1 and 2: change your units to Architectural, probably on Decimal which only thinks of 1 unit is inches.
    answer to question 3: make your hatch pattern not associative.

    There's probably more to answer 3, but I don't have time to look into it. Hatching settings etc.

    Question 3: It's probably the system variable PICKSTYLE = 3. Change to 1 or 2.
