basic

Dimensions can now be inserted using feet as a unit. This choice can be made in the global dimension settings or directly on the schematic by selecting one or more dimensions and changing Unit attribute. Feet dimensions come with a decimal declination, that can also be changed in the global dimension settings or directly on schematic.

Improvements
