Inches in a metric project

[ic198]

I work using a metric template but occasionally when designing for our US builder I need to enter a dimension in inches. It's great that Inventor allows me to type 10" and it knows what to do. However:

1. You can set dimensions to display as expression (in which case it will show d10=10") or as value (254mm). It would be really useful if you could get it to display both, particularly as if you set it to display as expression then other dimensions set by equations will show the equation in full but not the result

2. You can't use decimal inches, so 10.5" is rejected- have to type 10 1/2". Please get Inventor to accept decimal inches!
