We’re excited to announce several upgrades to our measurement input controls.
- Addition and subtraction of measurement terms
- Improved fraction support
- More units and formatting options
The following video shows some examples in action
The goal is to more naturally support how we write measurements and lengths. To give a sense of what’s possible, all of the following are valid input expressions for 2 ¾ inches.
- 2 3/4"
- 2.75in
- 11/4"
- 3 inches - 1/4 inch
- 1 1/4" + 1.5 in
- 2+3/4"
- 0’2 3/4"
- 0ft 2.75in
- 25.4mm + 1.75in
- 2.54cm + 1 3/4"
- 1’ - 9 1/4"
Most inputs in Easel and Cabinetmaker have been updated to support these new features. Although, there are a few stragglers that you may run into. We plan to finish migrating the remaining inputs in the near term.
If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions let us know below.
Thanks!
