I think I may be losing my mind.
For dimensioning, my dwgs are showing metric [secondary] on top and inches (primary) on bottom. I need them switched. Having them left to right is not a problem, but some need to show top/btm.
I have changed this before, but I can't seem to find it now. thanks

RE: Dual dim's

Well it looks like 2006 added the ability to have your alt dimension Left, Right, Top, or Bottom now.

Thanks guys.
CBL, I found those threads. But I thought we figured a way to do it...don't remember. I have a dwg printed here from SW with the way I want, but can't find the settings.
I lost my mind, I will let you know if yours is there when I find mine.
