Showing dimensions as feet and inches

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

Just as the subject suggests, I am having trouble figuring out how to show dimensions as 40'-6" for example. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Get into the Dimension Style Manager, pick a Style, Modify..., Primary Units tab, Linear Dimensions area, Unit format list, pull down and pick Engineering or Architectural [depending on whether you want partial inches as decimals or fractions].  Or set the DIMLUNIT System Variable to 3 or 4.  And by all means, read up on units of measure in Help.

I have no idea, but surely it has some way of setting the Units format in Dimension text.  What have you found in Help?

Nothing. I discovered that you can open an an acad imperial file. But if you have created a field and just changed the units to architecture I'll will gust give you the decimal dimensions. Frustrating!
