Imperial (U.S. Standard)

When entering a quantity in any Imperial measurement box, the last two digits typed are always interpreted as inches and are always converted to feet.

Examples:

  • 824 is interpreted as 8 feet, 24 inches and displays 10' 0"
  • 800 is 8 feet 0 inches or 8' even
  • 10 is 10" and 1010 is 10' 10"

System International (Metric)

When entering a quantity in any Metric measurement box, the value is entered as millimeters.

Examples:

  • If you want to enter 1.2 meters into a measurement box, type 1200
  • 10 cm is entered as 100

Note
You can specify fractions of an inch or millimeter by entering a decimal.
