Use of Variables in Callout - Dimension Change

Use of Variables in Callout - Dimension Change

Use of Variables in Callout - Dimension Change

(OP)
I've setup a drawing with some dimensions I want to refer to in callouts. Dimensions are in imperial (x' y"). When I reference them in a callout (ex: %{V27557|V}, where the variable name is V27557), the dimensions comme out in metric (mm). How can I change this to show the dimension in imperial?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

RE: Use of Variables in Callout - Dimension Change

(OP)
Okay, so I changed the units in the file properties dialog box, and so now it's in imperial.

Still one problem though, it can't correctly show the dimensions in the x'-y" format... any help?

Martin
