In my preferences I've set the default unit to 'foot.'

I want to measure distance and area on plans from my architect, so I used Info->Distance Point to Point to measure the width of an octagonal room that should be 12' wide.  (It might be give or take a few inches.)  When I measure, in the command line window, I get this:

Distance: 138.1948 Cartesian: (138.1948 , 0.0000), Polar: (138.1948<0.00°)

My guess is that measurement is in inches, since it's only about 6" off, which could be easily accounted for depending on my zoom settings and if I was on the exact line or not.

Is this in inches and is there any way I can have it normally displayed in feet?  (Yes, I can divide by 12, but it's just one more thing to have to worry about or remember to do.)
