5/4 in doesn't feel like a computed measurement

I love the new UI where it shows you if a measurement is the result of a calculation; it's amazing and great.
I think it's a tad sensitive, "1.25 in" doesn't get the "f" icon but "5/4 in" does.
Love the new feature, just a small piece of feedback.

I think what you are asking for is a "fractional" unit option in the workspace...

Most of the world would be quite confused if 5/4 wasn't treated as expression! The imperial system is annoying enough but fractional measurements just seem like such a "relic" in a modern CAD system... Decimal numbers are just so much nicer to deal with (for most...).
They are still available in drawings in Onshape, some days I just wish the US would stop using this altogether and stop "inflicting" it on the rest of the world!

Anyway, you should submit an improvement request if that is functionality you would like to see!
