ENTERING DIMENSIONS
When entering dimensioned values, you must
enter the largest dimension first — feet before
inches, inches before fractions. You enter frac-
tions by entering the numerator (value above the
line) then the “/” (fraction bar) key and then the
denominator (value below the line).
Enter the following linear dimensions:
Dimension Keystrokes
5 Feet 5 [Feet]
1/2 Inch 1 [/] 2
5 Feet 1 Inch 5 [Feet] 1 [Inch]
5 Feet 1-1/2 in. 5 [Feet] 1 [Inch] 1 [/] 2
10 Yards 10 [Yds]
17.5 Meters 17.5 [M]
Note: Yards, Meters, Centimeters and Milli-
meters may only be entered as whole values (5
Yards) or decimal values (5.5 Meters), and not
in combination with feet and inches or with
themselves (5 Meters, 2 CM, 8 MM). If a
particular problem contains such a dimension,
you must first convert the yards (or meters) to
“Feet-Inches” and then add dimensions using
the normal process. (See Conversion section.)
