Dual dimensions, feet-inch on top, mm on bottom, no show units. Dimensions over 12 inches display correctly as 1'-5.000". Dimensions under 12 inches display 5.000. No (") symbol. Can't have the text (in) and/or (mm) displayed due to manufacturing requirements. Soooooo close, just need (") to display if dimension is < 12 inches. Any thoughts?

You probably don't want to hear this, but you'll have to stick the " in manually for every dimension under 1 foot. If you have to do this regularly you might consider writing a macro that traverses each dimension in the drawing and adds the " only if the value is low enough.

Why "no show units" if you want the units showing?

Forgot to mention the 8" dimension is fractional. Decimal dimensions show as 8.000in.

Right I forgot to mention it's decimal units not fractional, in which case the (in) shows up. Manufacturing can't have (in) or (mm) it must be (") for ALL inch dimensions (') for feet, and nothing for mm. We've all had these battles, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a check box somewhere. Dimension Style works for now, but looks odd with dual dims turned on. Thanks All.
