In V12, searching and filtering also works with inch values.
Numerical values are indexed in their base unit. They can now also be searched for by specifying a desired unit as a search operator in square brackets []. (Works for all units contained in the configuration file
unitbase.cfg
)Values can be searched for in inch notation (e.g. 3 1/2 )
A fractional representation is evaluated as inches by default and a conversion to mm takes place automatically in the background so that mm values are also found.
1/2
1 1/2
If you want to search for "mm" with a fraction, you have to add "mm" in square brackets.
1/2 [mm]
When wanting to explicitly search for Inch you have to add "inch" in square brackets.
0.5 [inch]
Also with inch, you can search "from-to".
1/2 - 3/4
1 1/2 - 1 3/4
When using from-to statements the unit has to be added behind. If the last value is an Inch value (fraction), the statement can be cancelled (see last example), because the last token specifies the unit.
1 1/2 [inch] - 1.75 [inch]
So also the following search leads to Inch results.
1.5 - 1 3/4
Inch values could, for example, also be part of order numbers, i.e. they
