			You can easily flip flop between units by using the keyin &lt;em&gt;set units xxxx&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			For example, &lt;em&gt;set units inches&lt;/em&gt; will set the master units to inches so that all coordinate info is interpreted as inches.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			To flip back to feet, use &lt;em&gt;set units feet&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;set units Feet Inches&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Using this technique, you can switch between any convenient unit, including metric to english and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
