Examples of American units

Allplan always converts the values you enter to [mm] for internal calculations. But the values you get in the end are in the unit you set. Allplan does not include the "-" sign in the resulting values, because this sign is used as an operator.
0' and 0'' are not output. The unit is only added if you have selected the Feet and inches setting.

You can select the format of fraction for values you enter in Inches and Feet and inches. You can choose between fraction, decimal and fraction or decimal. You can then define the precision for the Fraction and Fraction or decimal formats.
Values you enter in Feet are always output as decimals. The same applies to all metric units.
