Change Displayed Unit Type on a Dimensioning Shape

[donpaul321]

Hello. New member here.

I can't figure out how to show units other then the built-in types (ie in, mm, etc) for Visio dimensioning shapes.
In the picture below I am trying to show U (as in the rack unit) for all dimensions.


Thank you!

Thanks wapperdude. In the future I can see myself using Visio Guy's rack unit dimension lines for sure.
Right now though all my work is based off of the standard dimension lines.

Out of curiosity, how would one go about implementing a non-standard unit in, say, a 'vertical baseline' shape? Or is it to much hassle to bother with?
As it is i'm just leaving the units off my drawings.

Did you see the link within VisioGuy's article?  http://www.visguy.com/2007/04/01/rack-unit-dimension-line/

This is a fairly simple dimention line...and it's free.
