Thread Creator - Imperial units

truckstang67 opened this issue · comments

Feature Request

Problem
Only Metric values may be entered when creating threads, which forces the user to perform a manual calculation when designing imperial threads.

Solution
Have a toggle switch to change to/from Metric/Imperial units.

It's a bit of a hack, but you can use an equation in the Diameter and Pitch fields.

try: "=.75*[inch]" and you might get somethings closer to what you are trying to achieve.

We would like to make the units settable in the future and that will be a better solution.
