Hello In the drawing I would like to have a dimension in inches and millimeters
The value in millimetres must be framed And the value in inches must be in square brackets
If I select absolute tolerance, it frames the dimension in inches with the addition of brackets
Ideally, you would find the syntax in the dimension text box that would allow you to frame the dimension in millimeters without having to select absolute tolerance
Is there a list of syntax types that can be used for dimensioning in the text box that allows Change the appearance of the rating
Hello; Technically it must not be possible: a boxed dimension is a control dimension and a dimension in parentheses is a "verification or redundant" dimension ... Their condition is not dependent on their units of dimensions (mm / feet-inches...).
Hello I agree with @Maclane on the normative side of the scoring rules that every good draughtsman/designer must know. Dual dimensioning is managed by SW based on the drawing/dimensioning standards. When you click on a dimension you see that the parameter of the double dimension is not displayed (there is just < DIM >, and then SW does the job with the standards). The only solution in my opinion is that of @A.R which makes the display more suitable and no other solution than to go through the selection of the absolute tolerance option (as said before, the framing of a dimension makes sense)
