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?
 
In the Dinension Style dialog, add the ' character in the Suffix box.
 
IRF's-thanks for the tip.
 
conversely change your dim units to architectural it will give you the foot symbol
