The ProjectCalc home decorators. It’s an indispensable tool for all your home decorating projects! It helps you quickly figure project material quantities and costs for paint, tile and wallpaper, as well as linear distances, areas/volumes. Unlike other calculators, it works and converts directly in Feet-Inches-Fractions, Yards, Metric, Square and Cubic, so you don’t have to figure tedious math. -
Page 4: Convert Key Functions
Adds or stores a value in the cumulative memory (e.g., 1 5 0 Ç +). Semi-permanent means the value is cleared when the calculator is turned off. Ç = — MR Recalls memory value (e.g., if 150 has been stored in Memory, pressing Ç... -
Page 5: Dimensional Unit Keys
Dimensional Unit Keys y — Yards Key Enters or converts to yards. f — Feet Key Enters or converts to feet as whole or decimal numbers. Also used with the i and / keys for entering Feet- Inch Fraction values (e.g., 6 f 9 i 1 / 2). Repeated presses during conversions toggle between Feet-Inch Fractions and Decimal Feet. -
