PR 1178 is to support feet'-inches"-fractional in construction dimensions, not for command line input.

No, for input this does not (yet) work in LibreCAD. You have to set units to inches and for input calculate the value to inches, 43 feet and 9 inches then is 525 inches. In the dimension text it is shown correctly as 43'-9". As a workaround you can write in the command line @43*12+9<0.

There is a pull request adressing the issue and it has recently been marked as merged into the development version 2.2.1 alpha, but it doesn't seem to work:https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/pull/1178
