I know this has been discussed in the past, but it's a daily hassle. We need to be able to have dimensions on our sheets stay in form even if we have to switch the units preferences. For example, when we have surveyor information in decimal feet, in order to work with that I switch my units to decimal feet. Then, all my sheet dimensions change from feet and inches to decimal feet. Similarly, when we want to work in inches, sheet dimensions again change on us. If we're not careful, this can result in embarrassing and erroneous output. So, 1) there should be separate settings for units in the IOP and in the various tool inputs, and another preference for dimensions. AND, 2) once a dimension has been placed, it should stick with the unit format and not change with a change in preference - or have an option to update all dimensions, yes or no.
