What if you set up a UM conversion record for Inches to Feet?  They
could enter the length in Inches and the system would automatically
convert to Feet for you.

we purchase quite a bit of raw material (bar stock). our stocking unit
of measure is linear feet.

but what do we enter if it is 7 bars each 3 feet 7 inches? to do this
is it 25.08333 feet?

to make this conversion easier, has anybody ever seen a tape measure
that was measures in feet and decimal portions of a foot. in other
words, a tape measure that we could read 3.58 feet directly from the
tape measure?
