Question

I recently moved PartyCAD to a new machine and now all the distances and sizes are in metric units instead of feet and inches. How can I set the program to use feet and inches?

Answer

Start PartyCAD 12 and in Options hover over Units of Measure and click Imperial PartyCAD will now use feet and inches.

By default PartyCAD uses your system setting for units of measure. On machines bought in Canada this is often set to metric. You could change the system value for units, but using Options/ Units of Measure in PartyCAD works just as well.

To return to Metric, use Options > Units of Measure > Metric
