Dual Dimensioning Question

When I use dual dimensions (upper & lower format) SW automatically puts the mm dimension in brackets and on top while putting the inch units on the bottom. Since inch units are our standard I would like to have them on top and the mm with the brackets on the bottom. Is there a setting to reverse this?

Thanks in advance.

Under Tools > Options > Document Properties > Detailing there is an option of On top or On the right.

If I use the "On the Right" option it does put the Inch dimension first. However, our company standard for dual dimension is "Top & Bottom" style. I need to use the top and bottom style with the inch dimension on top. Hopefully this can be done.
 
Not with the standards which SW follows.
