when drawing, I noticed that I wasn't getting my feet (') and inch (") marks. I switched my units to Feet/Inch and the dimensions round up to the nearest foot. If I go back to inches, I get the correct inches without any inch mark. If I go to Feet, I get feet and inches in decimal, but no fraction and not foot and inch marks.

How to I get a dimension of 69 inches to be displayed as 5'-9" ?

In the INSPECTOR, choose Units, feet,inches, and also check Show Unit Symbol.

It has been a while since I used the program, but I am once again fighting this issue. I have my preferences correct, and have made changes to the inspector and with each change, I see a different result, but nothing that reflects a feet/inches result. Could it be a bug in the version I have? Version 8.0.3

Hello

If you are using preferences to control this then in the units drop down you need to select "Follow Pref" or you need to set the units drop down to feet/inches. I don't see this in any of your screenshots. If could be that its rounding or you values don't have inches on the ones that are set to feet/inches

Regards

Jason
