Re: Scale and dimension an object?
Sure,
If you want to use feet/inches, go to "File -> Settings...", where you can set the "Draw grid major" to 1.0 and the "Draw grid minor (snap grid)" to 0.0833333 - this will give you twelve minor grid units per major grid unit ( 1 / 12 = 0.0833333 ).
In this case, one unit = 1 foot, so you can adjust accordingly for whatever scale you want.
Good luck
EDIT - I used to do this for feet/inches, but I found that when it came to 3D it was a lot easier in the long run to use 1 unit = 1 meter. That 0.083333 division ended up being more trouble than just doing the conversion up front. Your miles may vary, though...
