Hi frank
in prefereces I have; mm cm m km inch feet yard mile and these affect the grid
size snap and numeric input it would be handy to add other scales to this list
and expose it on the main interface - it is very odd that the view properties
where you can make custom scales does not affect the numeric input, is this the
same in v6?

Hi Alasdair,
The grid size and the numeric input are independent.
The viewwindow grid that you select from the selectwindow has no influence on
the units that you set under file/preferences.
All example grids are metric but I expect any new grid that is made in an
environment with feet or inches will give grids in these units. I haven't tried
this though.

Hi folks
still using v5 :(
in preferences I can set the grid size and when I create an object with
numeric input can create an exact sized object. I then change the grid size in
view properties but this has no effect on the numeric input - if it was 1X1X1
foot then it will still be 1x1x1 foot instead of say 1x1x1 inch.
I know v5 has been left behind so, how do I make the preferences show more
selections of scales?
thanks
