Soft Metric HVAC Label

I'm looking for a Soft Metric label to tag the HVAC components in an imperial unit drawing. Does anyone have this or know how to create it?

Randy,

This set of YouTube videos will show how to make a Tag.  The biggest thing users run into is tag scaling with the annotative scales, but the set of 4 videos addresses the "How-To" make a tag which I think will work here.  Hope this helps,

Joshua

Not in this case. I have an imperial unit drawing that contains a ductwork layout. By default, an imperial label is added desplaying the imperila unit size. I need a tag or label that will also show text in soft metric text.

One word (ok 2), Property Sets.

 

Method 1:

Use a formula property to manually convert the units.  2.54 cm = 1 inch.

 

Method 2:

Use a property set > property, mapped to a property data format that uses metric units.  See image.

I used a modified version of your Method 2. I had to create addtional property sets and create a new tag. Thanks for your help.
