Guys!

In drafting (v5r11).

Any of you has succeeded to create a new dimension style so that a dimension can be read as feet ' - inches fractional " (7'-5 1/2" stands for 89.5in). The doc is not that clear on this.

Thanks

Kevin

Kevin,

Is it differant than v5r7 in that you change the standard in the "dimention properties" window to "FEET-INC" ?

Even this still creates the dimension as 7' 5.50". And the only way I've been able to get 7' 5 1/2" is to select the dimentions individually and change the properties under "Value/Format" to fractional.
