Dual Dimensioning
Optionally, two different units of measure can be used in the same dimension. One of these serves as the primary dimension unit and the other as the secondary dimension unit. To avoid confusion, it is a good idea to enclose the secondary dimension in brackets.
The following example shows you how to set the secondary unit to inches. The example assumes that the primary unit is set to mm.
1. In the SETUP 1 menu, pick Dimensions.
2. In DIMENSIONS ENV, set CURRENT_DIM_TEXTS SEC_ALL BRACKETS to ON.
3. In DIMENSIONS ENV, set Current_secondary_dim_linear_unit to Inches.
The following figure shows the result. Note that the secondary dimension text (in inches) is displayed in brackets.
