Dimensioning units - toggling between types

[jgb]

I normally think and work in Feet-Inch-Decimal inch.
SU gives you Feet-Inch-Fractional inch or just Inch-Decimal inch.

Upto using V8, I would normally select Feet-Inch-Fractional working on buildings, and Inch-decimal on smaller stuff. SU is adept at taking any unit type on input, but only displays to what it is set to, so my VCB entries would look like 24'5.337.

But now with V8 Solids, if I am working in inches it gives volume in Cubic Inches, and likewise, if in feet gives Cubic Feet, all quite logical. However, I, in my own logic, want to work in Inches but see volume in Cubic Feet. This necessitates my going into Model Info, selecting Units and toggling inches to feet. Then doing it all over again to revert.

I can't create a shortcut to toggle.

Is there a way to get SU to show Feet-Inch-Decimal units and then report volume in Cu.feet?
Or create a shortcut or RUBY to toggle?

Thank you

Only problem was it screwed up my toolbar placement, and restore toolbars failed to correct that.

Adding new toolbars does that sometimes. Reposition them and save the new positions.
