ENTERING DIMENSIONS
Entering Linear Dimensions
When entering feet-inch-fraction values, enter dimensions from largest
to smallest —
e.g., feet before inches, inches before fractions. Enter
fractions by entering the numerator (top), pressing [ / ] (fraction bar key)
and then the denominator (bottom).

Note: If a denominator is not entered, the fractional setting value
is used.
Examples:

5 Yards 5 [Yds]
5 Feet 1-1/2 Inch 5 [Feet] 1 [Inch] 1 [ / ] 2
17.5 Meters 17.5 [m]
Entering Square/Cubic Dimensions
The
Construction Master Pro lets you easily enter square and cubic
values. Simply press a dimensional unit key
two times to label a num-
ber as a square value, or
three times to label a cubic value. (Note: If
you pass the desired dimensional format, keep on pressing the dimen-
sional unit key until the desired result is displayed.) Enter square and
cubic dimensions in the following order:
(1) Enter numerical value (e.g., 100).
(2) Press desired unit key (e.g., [Feet]) to label value as
“linear.”
(3) Second press of unit key (e.g., [Feet]) labels value as
“square.”
(4) Third press of unit key labels value as “cubic.”
