Modifying Labels to support Imperial measurements

You will notice that if you have your Length Units set to "Inches" [F10] Options, you will not get the fraction after the inches measurement. i.e. 20 1/3"

This can easily be changed by following these steps:

Right click on the Dimension tool, and choose 'Format Dimension Tool'.
Go to the Label page, as shown below.
Delete the formula in the 'Text' edit box (the formula %.0f instructs CabMasterPro to use decimal places).
Any new dimension lines that are placed should now display the fractional value following the absolute inches.

During DXF Exports, when working in inches /16 or /32 units, it will revert to 4 decimal places inch units for precision.
