Hello, I d'ont understand why I must always write (12:1) in the inquire option in order to have the measurement in feet or square feet

2nd Question: to see the text I write I have to put the option (visual style 3D Wireframe) but it comes back in 2D when opening the file or <when ​​creating a new document

I attach exemple files

No, I changed the units for "decimal" but I am still obliged to put a proportion of 12: 1 to have the right area in feet

T'inquiète pas, je suis moi aussi un français, mais canadien :)

Here, even if our national system is metric, everything is based on the feet like our American neighbors and mainly the construction sector

yes, it's in free version 5.0 with the inquiry option. I believe that in this version of the software, it's the only way to find my area and my perimeter.

Unless I am wrong.

And thanks for your help even if you can't find it.

Ouf ! salut cousin :P

Well, in english for all folks...

I never (almost) use the ancillary tools. Only properties.

If I draw by reasoning in meters and my surface in properties is 25,002 I consider that it is 25,002m². Idem if I reason in cm or in mm then it is 25.002cm² or mm². He won't tell me 0.000025002m² because I tell him about the meter in unit formats. This is only useful for transfers between software.
Besides, this is the reason for the variable "insunits".

On the other hand if I draw in metric and I have to give values ​​in inches or in feet, it is normal that it is necessary to make a conversion in my drawing.

In fact these software reason in unity. A unit for him, km, m, mm, inches, foot for me, he doesn't care .... "rien à carer" in bad French!

In the end if you reason in metrics and you want surfaces in the bottom one solution is to make blocks, which you copy and which you scale. Your surfaces will be in feet and your original block will be in meters. I do this with metalwork (mm) in civil engineering (m).

You can also do all your drawing by reasoning by the meter then put everything on the appropriate scale and move on to the texts and the quotation.

That's all for me ! I don't know if that helps you!

----- French
Je n'utilise jamais (presque) les outils annexes. Seulement les propriétés.

Si je dessine en raisonnant en mètre et que ma surface dans les propiétés est de 25,002 je considère que c'est 25.002m². Idem si je raisonne en cm ou en mm c'est alors 25.002cm² ou mm². Il ne me dira pas 0.000025002m² parceque je lui déclare du mètre dans les formats d'unités. Ce n'est utile que pour les transfert entre logiciels.
D'ailleurs c'est la raison de la variable "insunits".

Par contre si je dessine en métrique et que je dois donner des valeurs en pouces ou en pied, c'est normal qu'il faille faire une conversion dans mon dessin.

En fait ces logiciels raisonnent en unité. Une unité pour lui, km, m, mm, pouces, pied pour moi, il s'en moque.... "rien à carer" en mauvais français !

Au final si tu raisonnes en métrique et que tu veuilles des surfaces en pied une solution est de faire des blocs, que tu copies et que tu mets à l'échelle. Tes surfaces seront en pied et ton bloc d'origine sera en mètre. Je fais çà avec la métallerie (mm) dans du génie civil (m).

Tu peux aussi faire tout ton dessin en raisonnant au mètre puis tout mettre à l'échelle adéquate et passer au textes et la cotation.

C'est tout pour moi ! je ne sais pas si cela t'aide !

Thank you for your help. It's not exactly what I wanted but it still showed me some very useful things.
