Change V8 working units by keyin

Change V8's Working Units by Keyin!
Bentley's
Josh Schifter
posted this tidbit in v8.general:
You can easily flip flop between units by using the keyin
set units xxxx
.
For example,
set units inches
will set the master units to inches so that all coordinate info is interpreted as inches.
To flip back to feet, use
set units feet
or
set units Feet Inches
Using this technique, you can switch between any convenient unit, including metric to english and vice versa.
Note, changes to the working units are not stored in the file unless you save settings.
