nestly Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 In your dimstyle (or the dimension properties) add \X\f as a suffix to your Primary units add ; as a prefix for you Alternate units add \f as a suffix for your Alternate units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was possible because I read it previous, most likely either here or at the Autodesk forums, but I used Google to find the exact procedure.

"Autocad alternate units bracket" cool... sometimes i just wonder how autocad expects the user to know about these secret codes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Strange you should bring that up. Right now over at the Autodesk forums there is a topic called "How do you use Help?" where one brave Autodesk employee started a topic to see how members use AutoCAD's help. He's getting a fair amount of backlash from people complaining about how "Help" works, and the lack of detailed documentation compared to the "old days" AFAIK, you can't find that tip anywhere as provided by Autodesk anymore. It lives in the cyber world because 3rd parties have documented it, and or people remember it from days long ago when AutoCAD product documentation was more complete.
