DIMENSIONING SYMBOL ( ' )

(OP)
ACAD WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE THE FOOT SYMBOL (') FOR DIMENSIONS HAVING DECIMAL VALUES.  OTHER THAN "OVERIDING TEXT" UNDER "PROPERTY" WHICH IS DONE MANUALLY FOR EACH DIMENSION, IS THERE A METHOD TO AUTOMATICALLY INTRODUCE THE FOOT SYMBOL FOR DIMENSIONS HAVING DECIMAL VALUES?

RE: DIMENSIONING SYMBOL ( ' )

In the Dinension Style dialog, add the ' character in the Suffix box.
