Elevation Line in Feet Instead of Inches

[sutcac]

I know you can type in feet in the Elevation Line, dbx, but it just converts it to inches. Can you make it display in feet? Tried a search but didn't see this specifically. This is one of those things that has bugged me for a long time on and off but just now getting around to asking about it.

Bryce,

I also can't find a way to do it. I've always just placed text at the end of the contour lines to indicate the real world elevation data.

It would definitely be a great feature for Chief to add (with a real world offset value).

I only get feet, not inches, point is I know you can get it to display in feet, but am not clear on why, not at computer.

Hmm....

Elevation Lines are in inches in the dbx. Contour Lines display as feet on the Plan.

The "Number Style" Tab controls such read outs in dialog boxes, you can choose from several different types of readouts in terms of dialogs.
