    Hi

    If you divide the length of a 'Distance' object from the library the results aren't correct. For example a distance of 1m 486mm divided by two results in 1m 243mm. Only millimeter values gets divided correctly leaving the meter values untouched. The same behaviour can be seen on forms like 'Box' or 'Curtain'.

    The division calculations within the distance field work per number. Meaning that if you wish to divide 1m 486mm by 2 you would need to type "1m/2 486mm/2" in order to get the 743mm result you need.

    It is a bit awkward to divide each number seperate. Why is it that way? I can barely imagine an application for this behaviour and in my opinion most people would expect that the total distance is divided rather than just the last number.

    You may you also use parenthesis, so (1m 2cm) / 2 means 0,510m if that makes more sense to your workflow.
