Linear Dimensions
To enter dimensional values, enter the
l a rgest dimension first – feet before inch-
es, inches before fractions. Enter frac-
tions by entering the numerator (value
above the line), pressing
[ / ]
and then
the denominator (value below the line).
Note:
If no denominator is entered, the
default fraction setting is used. The exam -
ples below show how to enter linear
dimensions:

17.5 [m]
Note:
Yards, meters and millimeters may
only be entered as whole values (5 yards)
or decimal values (5.5 meters), and not in
combination with feet and inches or them -
selves (5 meters, 8 millimeters). If a p ro b -
lem contains such a dimension, convert the
y a rds (or meters) to “feet-inches” then add
