I realize that ArchiCAD dimensions can show either imperial OR metric units, but can it show BOTH imperial AND metric units on the same dimension string?
Thanks,
Jeff

If I may be so presumptuous, Jeff, I doubt this is what you are looking for. What you are REALLY looking for (at least in the area of dual-unit dimensioning) is a tool that at the very least:
1) Maintains associative relationships between the thing being dimensioned and BOTH sets of units (refreshing the units after the fact does not cut it).
2) Automatically puts one of the units in (parenthesis) or italics or allows you to automatically predetermine some sort of differentiation between the units.
3) Is not some tacked-on half-measure but something built into the basic functionality of the dimension tool itself.
