How to make a rectangle in inches with SWE keyboard

[john_mcclenahan]

And be very careful if your model units are set to any metric unit - m, cm or mm.

SU gets extremely confused if you input a mixture of feet, inches and fractions. See this post for details.

SU doesn't recognise fractional inches (e.g., 1/2") as an imperial measurement when units are mm

I thought that SU would recognise imperial units (feet, inches and fractions) in the Measurements box, even if model units were set to mm. It doesn’t recognise fractional inches. And no, I’m not using curly quotes. Drawing in mm with two decimal places, I tried to push-pull 1/2" (where I type in the 1/2" characters. I get 0.5mm instead. if I type in 0.5", I get what I expect - half an inch or 12.7mm. This seems to me like a bug, or at least behaviour I don’t expect. It seems also to be true…
