    Default Specifying line length

    Hi,

    I can specify line length as pure numbers, which I use as metric
    e.g. @23.6<45.

    But, what is the number format for imperial dimensions?

    What would I need to enter to get a line, say, 1ft 4 & 7/8 ins long ?

    Thanks

    You can do it the same way, but you must first set your "units" to Architectural, or Engineering, then you can enter distances as 1'-7/8". Just type units on the command line and select the desired units.
