Setup:

.. Main Drawing Unit = 1 inch

- Draw a 100 x 100 Rectangle
.. Click Line > Rectangle
.. First Corner = 0,0
.. Second Corner = 100,100

- Draw the Horizontal & Vertical Dimensions as shown below ...



Question 1:

What do the the dimensions mean?
.. 100 inches by 100 inches or what?

Question 2:

How to get the dimensions to display in inches?

Question 3:

Under Drawing Preferences
What is X & Y Spacing?
When I change it I see no visible change on the drawing

Thanks for any help.
