Hi Matadem, you can override the text for a dimension and make it whatever you want. You do that by selecting it and using the "Details..." button and on the detailed Object Properties dialog there is a Text: value you can edit.

The default value is <> which inserts the regular value. If you want to keep the regular value and add additional text you can insert your text before or after the <>. If you want your text to replace the regular value then you can remove the <>.

But having a mixture of different units in the same drawing is rather unusual and may cause confusion if you are sending the drawing to other people. So be careful.


> also for instance if you want to edit a line length to convert to mm?

When you edit the line's length you can put mm at the end of what you type in. That will take your typed in value to be in mm and convert it to the current unit system.
