Change scene scale to .3048
add new cube in object mode

I noticed I had opened a project from 2.68a prior to testing.

I then closed Blender and reopened Blender 2.72 again. I added a cube in object mode with scene scale set to one with imperial units. I then when to edit mode and the cube edges read 2'x2x2' and when I moved a face 1' it did show 3' correctly.

So, It seems that in Blender 2.68a for imperial units to work you had to set scene scale to .3048

Now, with Blender 2.72 you leave scene scale to 1 (which is the way it should be)

So the real issue is when I open a project created with Blender 2.68a with 2.72 the dimensions of objects are incorrect by a factor .3048.

As you said yourself, issue was in 2.68 and has been fixed since then… Thanks for the report anyway.
