Drawing: parameter in leader text, format as fraction?

[foolishgrunt]

I have a 19/64" hole that will receive hardware, which I wish to specify in the same note as the dimension. Nothing difficult so far.

However, I want to add a second leader to point to a picture of the hardware. Adding a second leader to a dimension is impossible, from what I understand.

So I looked at using a "Leader Text" instead. Here I can add as many leaders as I want, and I can add a parameter to the note to ensure the exact dimension is used. However, I cannot find a way to format the parameter as a fraction rather than a decimal. I selected the leader text and set the format to "Default - Fraction," but to no avail.

Anything I'm missing?

Hi! You did not miss anything. To show the model dimension value in fraction, you may wan to export the parameter. Go to Parameters dialog -> find the parameter -> check Export box. Then click on the right-pointing arrow in the input box -> Custom Property Format -> enable the Fraction display.

Go back to the drawing and edit the text. Select Custom iProperties and select the diameter.

Many thanks!

That did it, thank you!
