Adding hole note with dual dimensions

[bengee5454]

Hi. I am currently dimensioning a drawing for an American customer.  I have to give the dimensions as x.xx [y.yy] (imperial [metric]).

All going well until I use the Hole Note. I cannot get this to display the dims in the correct format. I've tried messing around with the Dimension Style/Alternate Units/Dual format, but nothing seems to work.

A workaround is just to dim normally, then edit the text - but it doesn't feel right!

Anybody else have this issue, or know how to display the alternate units in the hole note command?

Thanks

Right-click a hole note dimension > Edit Dimension Style, then:

Below is a screenshot with the following settings:

Shouldn't inches be displayed (the primary units)? Instead mm are given

When I change the settings as you suggest

I get.....

It seems to be reading mm as primary and secondary dimensions

Inches also don't show the unit here for me, but try check marking this option to show "mm":

Try to change the format to 1/2 Fraction not Stacked

Hi! Except dimensions, I don't believe Hole Note support dual unit. It is because the Hole specs are based on standards in the thread.xlsx in Design Data. Each table is standard specific and there is no dual unit.

Many thanks!
