line size not working?

ka9bgt
New to Librecad and it seems pretty intuitive, except line lengths.  I have the drawing units set to architectural and am trying to draw a line with lenght of say 2'-3 1/2", the line draws, but when I go to measure it using the dimension tool, I get something totally different for a length.  The length relative to the grid seems to be close to what the dimension tool shows.
Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Jim Noeth

Maybe in Options - Current Drawing Preferences - Dimensions "Length Factor" is not 1?
