When either US Survey Feet (US-Ft) or International Feet (I-Ft) is selected as the
distance unit, there is an option for values to be input and displayed in decimal feet,
or in feet and inches (See p.3-100, p.3-102). If selected, all distances, HI’s, HT’s and
coordinate values will be entered and displayed in feet and inches.
The input screen allows you to enter “feet and inches”
element by element separated
by periods.
Feet → [.] → Inch → [.] → Numerator → [.] → Denominator → [ENT]
(0~11) (0~15) (1~99)

When you press the [ENT] after inputting the
numerator, the system understands that the
denominator is 16.
Denominator “16 (for 16
