Once the display preference is set in Settings, all imperial length input fields are structured in the following order:
![Enter measurements in feet or yards with the period key to move between feet and inches, or inches and fractions of an inch.](https://blog.sketchandcalc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Input-Imperial-Length.png)
‘1 “2 3/44
1 = Feet or Yards
2 = Inches or Feet
3 = First half of fraction
4 = Last half of the fraction
When inputting an imperial measurement use the keypads period [ . ] key to proceed to the next number. Example:
To input 3 feet, 2 inches you would type:
3 [ . ] 2
To input 3 feet, 2 inches and 7/25’s you would type:
3 [ . ] 2 [ . ] 7 [ . ] 25
