I am inserting a note to call out a thread on a drawing. I would like it to read "1/4-20 UNC-2A THREAD". Since this note will be used on varying sizes, I would like it to be parameterized. The only issue I'm having is getting the 0.25" to report as 1/4. The note currently reads as follows:

"&DIA-&PITCH[.0] &PITCH_TYPE THREAD"

The "&DIA" value comes from a relation where "DIA=DIAMETER". DIAMETER is the name of the diameter dimension. I need to keep this due to how the relations for the bolt head size and pitch are based off of this parameter.

In other words: How do I make a decimal parameter report as a fraction.

Thanks in advance.
