Dual Unit Dimensions

[Jaco]

I want to display metric and imperial units in my dimensions. The main Units will be in mm, but I want to show the Imperial dimensions in brackets. Can this be done?

I've not found a way to force the dimensioning to show both.  The work around would be to double up on the dimension shapes, let one be metric and one US.  Not sure you can add the brackets, which is standard/preferred, but you can include the units.

Thank you, I will use the two dimensions. I will change the font in the imperial dimensions to Italic, I will also change the colour to red and make the font size smaller.

Since the last post on this topic, there IS a way to do dual dimensions,    see the following post:  how to get dimension lines show both in and cm   http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=599.msg2583;topicseen#msg2583.
