15/32", right?

Presuming you mean 2' 6" and not 2.6' or 2.6" or 2' .6".  Your syntax is ambiguous.



Yes, you got it Paul but how did you get it?

<div>
Given 3/16"=1'<br>&nbsp;<br><em>2' 6"</em> = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1.5/16<br>3/16 + 3/16 + 1.5/16 = 6/32 + 6/32 + 3/32<br>6/32 + 6/32 + 3/32 = 15/32<br><em>2' 6"</em> = 15/32
</div>


Given 3/16"=1'
 
2' 6" = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1.5/16
3/16 + 3/16 + 1.5/16 = 6/32 + 6/32 + 3/32
6/32 + 6/32 + 3/32 = 15/32
2' 6" = 15/32

Ok Paul, how do you get 6" = 1.5/16 part?  I see it as only 6/12 (6 inch to 12inch) = 1/2.

Hey Everyone,
Not sure if anyone knows this.  On a scale 3/16"=1', 2'.6" would be represented by what fraction of an inch?

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
