Hi Forum. Attached image says it all. Am I missing something or is there no way to insert cm into the dimensions ?

Select your Dimension
Open Detail (usually up right page corner)
Write cm (with a space first) after "Text <>"

But if you want it, just to clarify what Pilou wrote above, select your dim object and push the "Details..." button to bring up the Object properties dialog.

Inside there set the value for the Text: property to be <> cm like this:
