Entering point locations in specified units / archutectural notation

tenspd137
Hi all,

Just a quick question - I can't seem to find the answer in documentation anywhere.  I was wondering if LibreCAD allows you to enter co-ordinates in architectural notation.  For example, I know it needs to be set to inches for the unit and that you could make a 4 ft square area by doing (at the command line)
rectangle
0,0
24,24

But could I enter
0,0
2',2'

?

It seems to be no, but I may have missed a setting.  If nit, that might be a nifty feature?

Thanks!

Hello
Is/was this ever resolved? I like to switch between metric and inch.
Thanks

this is about a new feature, rather than a bug.

There is one feature request within our sourceforge tracker.

I feel we can support this, but not trivially, because we want to keep the current math ability still.

for example, you may want to type: 2'3" to mean 685.8 mm

By LibreCAD, you can simply type:

(2*12+3)*25.4
