Show dimensions in inches only

[Paul S. Morrill 1]

Good evening folks,

Doing a drawing and I need to dimension in inches only and i can't seem to list the dims in inches only. defaults to Feet-Inches.

What am I missing here.  This should be easy can't find it? 

Thanks in advance,

-paul

Go to “Units” under Document Preferences. You can change how units are displayed there.

Thanks Mark,

will this affect entire document or just this detail?

I’m afraid it’s the whole document. If it’s just one set of dimensions, try  exploring dual dimensions and set each to imperial , but one to inches only.

that's what i was afraid of  using a dual dimension mode - shows both better than nothing.

Hmmm, kind of a PITA, but you could do the detail in a separate document and reimport back. Possibly as a DLVP.
