ruler units, inches vs feet/inches

Post by StanB » Sun Jan 16, 2022 6:21 pm

my ruler (using inches) shows "0 1'8" 3'4" 5'0" etc"
I want to see "0 20 40 60 etc"
I've done this before but I can't remember how I did it. Something about type of dimension or something. Please let me know how.
Thanks,
Stan
