Automatic conversion from ft. to in.

Report · Dec 05, 2019

Before I updated to the new illustrator I was able to type in the word ft and it would automatically convert it to inches.(see below)

After the update it is no longer allowing me to do this.

Is there a setting I need to change or did they do away with this feature? I took advantage of this feature daily and would like to get it back.

Thanks!

You are right, you can convert between Feet and other units in CC2019.

I never saw ft as an option in Preferences or for Rulers, but the calculation worked in CC 2019 and stopped working in 2020.

You can mention it here:

I added it here, hopefully it is looked at.
