Dual listing on drawing

2D plans Layout

Hello world

The question is simple: can we easily do drawings in double dimensioning mm/in. I have a request from a client and I'm afraid that it will quickly become a hassle.

Is it possible to install dimensions directly with the 2 values or do you have to install 2 dimensions, one in mm and the other in inches?

Thanks in advance

Hello

Simply enable the dual dimension option in the document options:

Hello

On your drawing, select all the dimensions you want to put in double dimensioning, then in the property manager on the left, you have to tick "double dimensioning" and you get the right display directly. You must first define the unit of the dual dimension in your SW parameters.
