Modify Dimension Style

HI, I have defined a dimension style with alternate units as Architectural.

Is there a way I can remove the 0 from the dimensions? (Against, 20'-0 5/32" I want it to be 20'-5/32"; How to modifty dimension style to cater so?)

Also, Is there a way the alternate dimesnions could be displayed only i inches?

To display alternate units as inches:

On Alternate Units tab

Unit format: Decimal

Precision: 0.0

Multiplier for alt units: 0.0392156862745098

Round distances to: 0

Suffix: "

Thanks for this!

This does help with the second query.

If you mean inches with fractions as in your image, but what you want is just inches rather than feet and inches, use Fractional or Fractional Stacked for the Unit format. You'll still need to add the inch mark as Suffix.
