Imperial dimensions should also be available in feet and fractional inches, not just decimal feet

iTwin only offers decimal feet for measurements. Most engineering dimensions in imperial are feet and inches and fractional inches. Not including this option requires the user to perform conversion calculations to be able to check against drawings. Note that competing software includes multiple options for units, including feet and inches in fractions, where the fractional precision can be adjusted from 1/2" to 1/256", we normally use 1/16"

    In addition to the above idea, please also enable ACCUDRAW while using the measurement tool in the itwin design review to allow users to snap to X-Y-Z plane. Currently users are finding it difficult to measure objects because of the missing accudraw.
    Thanks!

    Having the option of fractional inch measurements would be very useful.
