Input Field Improvements

What’s New

Snaptrude now uses a unified, single-field input for all imperial measurements, replacing the old two-field feet/inches system. This new input is smarter, more flexible, and works consistently across all drawing and editing workflows.

1. Single Input Field for Feet + Inches

  • Old segmented inputs (30' | 4") are replaced by one clean input field.
  • Users can type any standard format:
    • 30'4", 30 4, 30 4", 364", 30, or decimal values (30.33 → 30'4").
  • Missing inches default to 0"30 becomes 30'0".
  • No more cursor-position inference: Inputs reflect exactly what you type.

2. Consistent Behavior Across All Tools

The unified input is now used in:

  • Line, rectangle, arc, circle tools
  • Move, copy, parametric copy
  • Story heights, OPP properties, and dimension fields
  • All supported units: ft-in, meters, cm, mm, inches
    • Values auto-convert when switching units.

3. No More Truncated Inputs

Previously, long numbers were cut off with and couldn’t be read or edited properly.

  • Inputs now auto-resize or scroll smoothly to accommodate long values.
  • Ensures clarity even for large measurements or pasted values.

4. Smarter, Faster Text Selection

A major UX improvement across all numeric inputs:

  • First click: automatically highlights the entire value → users can overwrite instantly.
  • Second click: places the cursor for precise editing.
  • Applies to both numeric and text fields across the product.

Benefits

  • Prevents accidental autofill errors due to cursor position
  • Reduces cognitive load with a consistent, universal input pattern
  • Speeds up drafting and editing for both new and expert users
  • Ensures “what you type is what you get” with no hidden behavior
  • Fully backward-compatible with older projects
