ENTERING DIMENSIONS
AND UNITS
When entering feet-inch dimensional
values, you must enter the largest
dimension first — feet before
inches, inches before fractions. To
enter fractions of an inch, enter the
numerator (value above the line), press
/
(Fraction Bar key) and then enter
the denominator (value below the line).

For all other units of measurement,
you can only enter whole numbers or
decimal numbers. You cannot enter
combinations of units (for example,
you cannot enter 12 meters 6
centimeters 4 millimeters).
