Dear Sirs,
I have been asked to modify a number of drawings to facilitate fabrication of parts where they use the metric system.
Currently the drawings all have primary dimensions as fractional inches, and the alternate in decimal inches.
It'd be great to have a 'second' alternate to add, but I do not believe Alibre supports this.
I believe I can place the metric measurement as the alternate for a dimension, but how do I do this globally?
I have tried to create a template with a new Dimension Style (call it English-Metric), which has primary dimensions as fractional inches, and alternate dimensions as mm, but when I open a drawing, and go to its properties to change to my new template, the dimensions do not do what I expect.
Is there s simple example out there showing how this could be done? I have many drawings, each with many dimensions.
Sincerely,
Duane Kaufman
