Dual Units

[florian.b]

it would be awesome to be able to activate dual units in Fusion360. So showing metric an inches at the same time without chanig document units

This can be done in a drawing created from a model by selecting "Alternate Units" in the Dimension Properties window.

i couldn't find "alternate units" in drawing but my idea is to have the posibility to see both units while designing the object

[OldNGrey]

Drawing alternate dimensions settings check box. To open, double click on a drawing dimension

AH thanks got it. But still it would be nice to have dual units as an option everywhere in Fusion.

Agreed. even better (maybe) would be to retain the units if typed explicitly in model ( not drawing) dimensions. For example when working in inches but you need a metric hole, type in 12mm for the hole and have it stay 12mm instead of 0.472in - this can be confusing for anyone other than the part creator.

Dual units in both model and drawing modes, able to toggle units:

Please add this feature through the whole modeling process.

Finally with the April 8, 2019 Product Update there is a dual unit option in the inspect tool. Nice! Still would be awesome to have it through the whole modeling process as @tachamb mentioned
