Can't find how to show multiple dimesnion units

Post by Panchdara » Mon Mar 19, 2018 10:38 am

Hi. I know this has been asked before and for the life of me I can't seem to find it:

I'd like to show 2 measurement units at same time. For instance a drawing in inches to show it's dimension in both inches and another user defined unit, such as mm. Like 3.75 (95.25) - and allow user to have option to prefix & suffix literals on either dimension.

So the above could be shown:

3.75 (95.25) /* parentheses being a literal */
3.75 - 95.25 /* dash being a literal */
3.75in (95.25mm) /* ( ) and mm being literals */
3.75" - 95.25mm /* " and - and mm being literals */
3.75 (95.25mm)

etc.

I know there'd be a finite number of options but the mm (in this case) have different sizing too. These dimensions being dynamic so user not having to recalc.

Perhaps a suggestion.
