Dual Dimension for Part Volume

[MDGroup]

Is it possible to have dual dimensions displayed in a drawing for the Volume of a part?

It is very easy to have dual dimensions for linear dimensions in a drawing. Say inches and [mm].

And I can link the volume of part to a note in the drawing; and it will import the main dimension (inches^3)

However I don't see any way to also link to the metric version of the volume, so I could also have (cm^3) displayed in the notes.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dual volumes do not exist in Solidworks. I guess you will need to use an equation to convert from one unit to another.

Agreed

Have you tried to make an equation that will convert the volume in Imperial to Metric?

Just for curiosity, why would you want a volume dim on a drawing?
