For what I use QCad for it would be extremely helpful - and likely quite simple to implement - to have an option to display values (e.g. measurements of position and length) in inches only instead of feet and inches. I suppose if I were working in metric units the same idea would apply to centimetres only instead of metres + centimetres. Consider you have a line segment whose x-position is 3' 11 17/32" and you need to move it by 2' 7 13/64". The math would just be a lot simpler if the "feet" measure were in inches - so 47 17/32" and 31 13/64".
Closure comment
Dimension format "Fractional" can be used.

I think that option already exist: 8-O
Set your Dimension settings for Label Format to Fractional and it will be displayed in inches only.
(Menu/Edit/Application Preferences/Dimension Settings/Label Format/Fractional)
No math needed. Select the entity at 3’ 11 17/32”, launch Move/Copy, chose reference point, use e.g. the command line to move it relative @2' 7 13/64",0", done. ;-)
