General Points
The input option for imperial values has been revised fundamentally. In addition to the new "Quick input", enabling a simpler and quicker input of editable values in the imperial measuring system, the existing input option has been also enhanced significantly. Consequently, the new options "Base unit for input without feet/inch symbols", "Standard display" and "Quick input" have been incorporated into the pre-settings (ALt+F7) under the "Formatting of dimension figures" option. The setting option will only be available in the pre-settings if the imperial measuring system is active.
Users can determine the unit (yards, feet, inches) which is to be entered without symbols with the option "Base unit for input without foot/inch symbols". If the unit has, for example, been set to "Feet" and the value "1" entered into an editable value field, the value will be 1’ (feet). Therefore, users can determine, in principle, which units (yards, feet, inches) are to be worked with, without having to enter the respective symbols.
The setting "Standard display" determines how the values entered are to be displayed. If the standard display is, for example, set to "Feet and inches" and 1 yard is entered, then 3’ (feet) will be automatically displayed.
Another input option is to separate the units with a blank space. Thus, for example, the value 12’ 8½” can also be entered as 0 12 8 32 (input of values with the unit "Yard").
As an alternative to the setting options mentioned above, users can enter a pure sequence of numbers without symbols when the "Quick input" option is activated. The units are divided as follows:
In the "Quick Input": two figures each correspond to one unit. The standard input will be automatically used again if a number with decimal separators is entered. If the Quick Input function is activated, the input with Feet/Inches symbols and the input with decimal separators keep functioning as usual.
From now on, value input fields under an imperial setting can be used as a calculator analogue to the metric system.
