I have not found a way to have the alternate dimensions show up on hole callouts (idw). Am I overlooking something? My company requires both mm (in) dimensions on all drawings. I am using the mm(in) dimension format.
Thanks,

I really need to resolve this! Can anyone at least tell me if they THINK, it is possible!
Thanks,

Bill,

  I've checked into
this.  Inventor currently supports dual dimensioning most
all dimension types except for holes.

  In case you haven't found this out yet, here
is how to change the display to dual dimensioning:

1)  Create a view and place a linear
dimension

2)  RMB on the dimension and choose New
Style

3)  Click on the alternate units
tab

4)  Check Display Alternate units

5)  Click OK and you will see the dimension
dimesioned with both units

Hope this helps...

As for the hole note, you may have to manually
append the equivalent value in the other unit base

1)  On the hole note, RMB and choose
text

2)  In the text box, you'll see
<<>> already displayed

3)  Append "/x.xx mm dia xx.xx mm deep"
etc.

P.S.  This functionality is being considered
for a future release.
