Inches and then draw the few drawing parts in mm, cm or metres, theįunctionality which we are trying to add via this thread.Īs I have commented 2 comments earlier a blueprint of the code we can
Then a likely case would be to set the default unit to either foot and Given in feet and inches and few of them are given in metres, cm or mm, In case where majority of the dimensions in a drawing are Inches and feet when the default unit has been set to something apart from On Sun, at 11:21 AM Aaditya Koshti If you are saying that itĬonverts it, then its great but not great enough, as it only does this for In both the cases, the code execution should be set in the following way to give the output expected: We should also set a variable called 'metre to metre' and set it to '1'.Ī: The user won't mention any unit in the command line.ī: The user mentions the unit name in the command line. Similarly, all such conversions' variables should be declared beforehand upon initialization. Variable named 'inch_to_metre' be assigned a value of 0.0254 since 1 inch is equal to 0.0254 metres.Īnother variable named 'feet_to _metre' be assigned a value of 0.3048 since 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 metres.Īnother variable named 'centimetre_to_metre' be assigned a value of 0.01 since 1 cm is equal to 0.01 metres.
#ENTERING FEET AND INCHES INTO LIBRECAD SOFTWARE#
It would be one hell of an achievement to be the first CAD software to have such a feature. Therefore, kindly please look into implementing this feature. There are a lot of conversions (mm to inches, mm to feet, mm to yards, all of these to and fro with mm replaced by cm and m). If it was just one case of conversion (say from inches to mm), then I would have never requested for this feature and would have remembered the conversion myself. The reason why I am requesting this is that the computers are better at remembering and handling recurring units upto a good place after the decimals while it is hard for us probably everyone.
If I don't do, then the gap would stay there which too would spoil my image. If I do some adjustments, it will be caught on the site by client's engineers and it would spoil my image as an architect. Now because of this, I don't know what is right and what is wrong: The tiles' dimensions or the walls'. As of now, when I try to set the tiles' layout that I have calculated in millimeters because I cannot get thtat done in inches, I always get a small gap beside the last row of the tiles and the wall (the wall too has been done by converting the inches to mm). A conversion system that would enable something like allowing drawing a slab in millimeters and then doing the masonry and tiles-flooring work in feet and inches would be of a great help. In my country, we follow metric system (mm) in RCC works and the rest like tiles-flooring, masonry and other finishing works are done using units from imperial system (inches and feet). Yeah, Ok, and I think that implementing this feature of unit conversion will be great for people working to and fro between multiple units. You will see both the squares overlapping. Now set default drawing unit to foot in both Application Preferences and Current Drawing Preferences.Īgain draw a 2x2 square using either line tool or rectangle tool. Set default drawing unit to meters in both Application Preferences and Current Drawing Preferences.ĭraw a 2x2 square using either line tool or rectangle tool. square overlap each other while in real world case, the 2 sq. When I set the units to meters and draw a square of 2x2 units, it gives me the same-dimensioned square that I draw after selecting 'foot' as the default drawing unit from both menus(Application Preferences and Current Drawing Preferences) that is, a 2 sq.ft. This is the only setting that is found more than twice in the combined settings options of LibreCAD, yet doesn't work. A new comer to LibreCAD will only set it from one of them, because that is the case in every application: You don't have to save a same setting at more than one place once its done, it takes the effect. As of now, we can set the unit of drawings (say foot, meter, millimeter) from both Application Preferences and Current Drawing Preferences. First of all, we need to remove the setting to set units of drawings from two options menu and keep it in any one of them.
