Browsed topics but I don't see this addressed:


I just want to draw some very basic floor plans, so I set the units to Architectural. I used to do a lot of autocad drafting back in the day, and I really like using the Command line, but LibreCAD only seems to accept 'mm' units in the Command Line. Typing something like   2'-20"< 90  to draw a line, or 5" for an offset just doesn't work... returns "Unknown Command: 5" ".  Can someone explain? Maybe LibreCAD just doesn't do it.


I'd also like to change the GRID points to no less than 1". Snap also. The GRID currently has zillions of points... very difficult to select, and SNAP seems to go down to the 1/16".  Any tips appreciated!


Otherwise, I'm finding LibreCAD very intuitive! Bob's manuals have helped as well -- thanks!!
