Inches Template for Sewing

Includes rulers in the template, brief documentation, and a proof PDF. Was able to get sample objects printing 1:1 so that they measured perfectly, using an HP LaserJet 1012. inches-template-landscape-output.pdf inches-template-landscape.dxf

inches and feet

I set the drawing preferences to Architectural, inches. i draw a line 101 units long. i dimension the line and it says the line is 3-31/32" inches long, which is 101 mm. I need it to be 101 inches long when i specify 101 units. Help! v2.1.3

Inch marks in dimensioning?

Is there a way to get UM indicators (feet and inches specifically) added to my dimensions? I don't see a way other than manually editing each one. I'm using 1.0.2 (Ubuntu 12.10) if that matters. Thanks for any help- and thank you even making this question possible. Dave

inches and feet

I cannot reproduce this. I have added a sample drawing. It says 8'-5'' for 101 inches. That's supposed for architectural. If you set the linear units to decimal in the dimensions settings you get 101. If you compare the settings in the sample drawing with your settings you might find out what's wrong. arch_inch_1_96_101inches.dxf

Display in feet and inches

I drew my house plans in inches and decimal points, but I would like the display to be in feet and inches. Strangely enough dimensions in the command box show in feet and inches.

1/4 inch scale

I want to produce drawing that are 1/4" = 1.0'-0". I think this means a 1:48 ratio. In libreCAD, it skips 1:48 and goes from 1:32 to 1:64. How do I set the scale to 1:48 so that I can produce an Architectural drawing? Thanks in advance Jesse

inches and feet

Inch marks in dimensioning?

Is there a way to get UM indicators (feet and inches specifically) added to my dimensions? I don't see a way other than manually editing each one. What is UM? Anyway, if you want to see dimension text as 2'-3" you need to set "main drawing units" as "inch" and "Length format" as "Architectural" from Edit -> Current Drawing preferences. -- H.S.Rai

1/4 inch scale

what's the issue? looks like that in your Lot_plan.dxf, there's a confusion between units feet and inches. As your drawing is in inches, but the drawing options specifies "feet". If you want a fixed scale of 1:32, 1:384 should be used. scale.pdf Unfortunately, The changes don't...

Inch marks in dimensioning?

UM- Unit of Measure. Sorry if my terminology is incorrect. We do a lot of small drawings where the largest item is only 4". When I used the fractional format, it doesn't input the mark ", and I hate seeing the 0'-4", 0'- 3/8", etc. Right now I edit these manually, or make a blanket statement about "All dimensions in inches" kind of thing. Thanks for the responses... Dave

1/4 inch scale

So, I thought I had this figured out. I set my paper size to ARCH D (24 x 36 inch) and my scale to 1:48. I then made a drawing (using feet as units). When I go to print the paper is supper tiny relative to my drawing. It only fits if I set the scale at ~1:500. Any ideas? I've uploaded my file Site_Plan_-_need_to_scale.dxf

circle dimension text in inches

Hello all, I'm new to LibreCAD (and pretty excited), but ran into an issue immediately. I set up the default to be inches, then drew a 2" radius circle. when I try to dimension this part, I see no text. If I set my unit to mm and redraw the part (50mm radius), then dimension it shows up fine. I'm guessing this is a default text size issue? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks
