In Easel, you have the option of using imperial or metric units. You can change between inches and mm by clicking the toggle (1) on the lower left-hand corner. This will change all of the units in the project.
You will also notice other fields where dimensions can be entered. For example, when selecting an object you will see the Shape/Cut menu pop-up.
- In the Shape menu, you can adjust the Position, Size, and Rotation of the selected object by entering a value.
- In the Cut menu, you can adjust the depth by entering a value or using the slider.
On the top right-hand side, you will see the Material, Work Zero and Bit menus (2).
Quick Tip: When entering dimensions, you can switch between inches and millimeters by entering mm or in at the end of the value, and Easel will automatically convert these units for you. |
Entering measurements
We’re excited to announce several upgrades to our measurement input controls.
- Addition and subtraction of measurement terms
- Improved fraction support
- More units and formatting options
The goal is to more naturally support how we write measurements and lengths. To give a sense of what’s possible, all of the following are valid input expressions for 2 ¾ inches.
