[meangus]

can anyone tell me how to set my dimensions to read out in inches, not feet and inches? I'm using AUTOCAD LT for mac.

 thanks, m

Hi,

Modify dimension style settings on the Primary Units tab - set Unit format to "Fractional" and Suffix to " :

Hi @meangus,

Did the solution from @maxim_k fix answer the question or are you still having problems getting the units displayed the way you would like?

Hi, in the solution above, there will be an inch symbol (") after an angular dimension (i.e. 60°"). Is there a way to solve this?

Thank you.

Yes, you need to create separate dimension "sub-styles" for linear and angular dimensions.

Start with general dimension style, and add new style for Linear dimensions:

Now add new style for Angular dimensions:

Now edit Linear "part" of dimension style:

- add suffix :

Save changes.
