Dimension Alternate Units

[ChrisGamble]

Additional alternate unit graphics controls would be helpful. Color difference and hiding alternate units that use the same unit format as the main unit, but at a different tolerance that have the same dimension would be nice to identify discrepancies between the model and the dimension annotation. EG, I have a model where someone modeled using 1/2" tolerance and dimensioned such. But when the dimensions are set to 256th of an inch, a bunch of nasty dimensions present. So I am using alternate dimensions to show what the original was, and what the actual 256th is. But some of the alternates are the same as the main, so hiding the extraneous alternates would be nice for this practice.

Make it possible to create a custom dimension type that shows the alternate unit in a different font size.

I wanted to have a customizable dimension type with smaller font above/below sub-texts some time ago. Can't really remember how I did that then, but it would be nice to be able to customize dimensions like this.

Hey Autodesk,

It would be very useful if we could control the color and size of alternate units separately to the Primary units. Especially when working with inter-regional projects.

Having the ability to change the font used in the dimension text fields would also be a nice addition.

Often we will have a dimension with text added below to give some additional context. It would be nice to have this be set to bold or a different colour to draw more attention to the text specifically.
