Measurement Input Upgrades

We’re excited to announce several upgrades to our measurement input controls.

  • Addition and subtraction of measurement terms
  • Improved fraction support
  • More units and formatting options

The goal is to more naturally support how we write measurements and lengths. To give a sense of what’s possible, all of the following are valid input expressions for 2 ¾ inches.

  • 2 3/4"
  • 2.75in
  • 11/4"
  • 3 inches - 1/4 inch
  • 1 1/4" + 1.5 in
  • 2+3/4"
  • 0'2 3/4"
  • 0ft 2.75in
  • 25.4mm + 1.75in
  • 2.54cm + 1 3/4"
  • 1' - 9 1/4"

Most inputs in Easel and Cabinetmaker have been updated to support these new features. Although, there are a few stragglers that you may run into. We plan to finish migrating the remaining inputs in the near term.
