When I strike a measurement it is coming back with a number, "192.00" for example. the number definately converts to inches but I don't want to spend time converting from inches to feet and inches. How do I globally set this up to read feet and inches?

Hope you are doing well. Per the description, I understand that you want to change the measuring unit to feet and inches.

Hi @S S.,
Thank you for the quick response. I have viewed that segement of information you provided. I changed my setting to inches and restarted the program. I cleared all previous measurements from the document and the value still comes back in inches, not feet given. I do many measurements and it is time comsuming to convert each value. Maybe, Adobe Pro is not able to give Feet and Inches. I'll keep studying the program to see if I can resolve the issue.
Again, appreciate the quick feedback.

Sorry for the experience. Please try the steps below once and let me know if this helps.
First, after you enable the measurement tool, right-click anywhere on the page to open up the measurement menu. Once opened, select the option saying: "Change Scale Ratio and Precision" as shown in the screenshot below:
Once selected, you will be given the option to select the measurement units, you can place in the current values and the ones that you want to be displayed (screenshot attached below).
Once you click on OK, the next time you drag any measurement, it will be displayed as per your selected display unit.
Hope this helps.
