Getting Started

1. When the job is configured for International Feet or US Survey

Feet, it is assumed that the distance entered is in the same units

as the job is configured for.

2. If the job is configured for meters, it is assumed that the

distances entered are in International Feet and will be converted
to meters when the cursor leaves the current field. (You cannot

use this method to enter a metric distance in fractional format.)

3. If a fractional inch is entered that cannot be evenly divided by

1/64 inch, it will automatically be converted to the nearest 64

inch. This conversion would be negligible for survey data and

unlikely to occur.

An alternate method to using this shortcut is to tap the Quick Pick

button while the cursor is in a distance field that you want to change

and select AU Conversion. Enter the appropriate feet, inches and
fractional inches and tap Use . See the Reference manual for more
information on the AU Conversion screen.
