Fractional sizes with no inch symbol

Anonymous — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:50:28 GMT

Is there a way to get the size of duct and the offsets to appear as fractions but without the inch symbol? I like the duct sizes and offsets to not have the inch symbol because it takes up too much space.

Hi @Anonymous

I can see no one has got back to you so I will have a go at seeing if I can help.

I have found the following guide which might have some settings which will help:

Please have a read through and see if you spot any settings that sound like it will do what your wanting.

Regards,

Yes, modify the dimension style that you use for duct length to fractional and it will show your duct length with the fractional value, but not the inch symbol. I have a attached a pic. let me know if you need anything else regarding this issue.

We have that setting for the duct lengths, but we would also like it for the sizes and the offsets.
