Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

The S.E.L. (Segment Edge Length) is shown in decimal inches unless you have changed the setting to use milimeters.
Fractions are no longer used for a variety of reasons, first on the list is that desktop computers are being replaced with laptops and tablets and increasingly, keyboards are being deleted because touch screens and screen-based keyboards are becoming more prevalent. The fields used for data are all numeric fields because you can increment/decrement them by clicking on arrows. Fractions are text characters, though, so they cannot be used in a modern user interface.
Once you've used digital inches, you'll wonder why you didn't switch years ago. It is more accurate and far simpler. The key is to get a micrometer that measures in decimal inches and also get a ruler or tape measure that has fraction on one edge and digital inches on the other.
Finally, the rest of the world has been using digital numbers instead of fractions, well, forever. If we're ever going to get to a universal measurement system (should have happened years ago, moving to decimal inches from fractions if a major first step.
I hope that helps.
