Dual Dimensioning Question

Dual Dimensioning Question

Dual Dimensioning Question

(OP)
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.

RE: Dual Dimensioning Question

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

RE: Dual Dimensioning Question

(OP)
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.
