Alignment label -- unit format

I created an alignment. The alignment units is in feet but the station labels for the alignment is in miles. I'm using the add labels for the alignment to get information about a specific point along the alignment. Here's my question, the label gives me information for the specific point such as the alignment name, station (in feet), offset, northing and easting. Is there a way to have the label give the information in the units of miles? I'm having to convert the station information by dividing it by 5280 but it would be nice if the information given was in miles.

 

Thank you in advance!

What version of AutoCAD are you using? eg AutoCAD Map 3D as those items you want changing are proxy items in both AutoCAD 2024 and AutoCAD LT 2025 and cannot be edited

If you are an AutoCADLT user (the topic of this forum), you are at a dead-end @CADDVV 

Or are you just in the wrong software forum? LT version of AutoCAD can do nothing like you are drafting (creating alignments, adding geo-positioned labels etc.).

fyi - I selected the label and right clicked. Then I selected edit label text from the menu. I am able to add the post mile information and change the units from feet to miles. What a difference taking a break makes! Thanks to everyone who reached out.
