Summary0004131: Import spreadsheet into TechDraw, looses properties
DescriptionThe spreadsheet has a nice feature that allows display values in inches. If you use this feature, add it to a TechDrawing, or export it, the property is lost and everything reverts back to the standard mm setting (regardless of the General "units" setting.
Steps To ReproduceMake a simple drawing using a sketch, constrain it and Pad it.
Make a spreadsheet and import the 3 dimensions.
Make a 2 copies of the 3 dimensions. Change the properties of the first set to "in". The second set divide each value by 25.4 (mm -> in).
The two sets of values should pretty much agree, the last set will have more decimal places.
Import the spreadsheet into a TechDraw.
The values with the "in" view property will change back to mm.

Why is this an issue:
I often draw stuff that are based on metric units and if I print them it isn't an issue. If I make them on my mill which is manual and uses English/American measurements, I need to build a cut list manually. I can do it in the spreadsheet but its ugly, especially because I have to use the mm to in manually, and the spreadsheet still says mm.

It would actually be better to just be able to turn off the dimensions on a cell by cell basis but I would prefer to use the "in" property.
