Thank you dellus.  To be frank, I don't understand the link you posted. Not to worry.  You might be thinking, why does this geezer want to use feet and inches, or fractional inches anyway.  Here's the reason.  I am working on ancient buildings (in this case); they were obviously designed in feet and inches.  It seems appropriate to continue to design in imperial; it somehow makes more sense than to convert to meaningless dimensions once converted to Metres and Millimetres.  Unfortunately, using decimal feet makes no sense either, nor does decimal inches, the latter giving numbers inconveniently high on a building.  Unless one of you clever C programmers can resolve this, I will have to convert all dimensions to decimal metres.  Perhaps it would be best to remove the fractional option from Current Drawing Preferences?
