Visio dimension line in inches?

[woodie2]

I also use Visio as a cad program for my woodworking shop carts and furniture designs. I can't find a way to have the dimension line feature show inches only and not the default of feet - inches. Any ideas?

Right click on the dimension - select .Inches from the Precision & Units sub menu. You can then drag that onto yur favourite stencil and it's always ready to use.

Thanks!!! I realize I have not been specific... Once you get the Feet - Inches as discribed, I want them in non-deciaml, for example, 13 1/4", not 1'- 1.25". The other preference is in total inches only, not 1'- 6 1/2" but rather 18 1/2" I have been into the "Define" detail of the dimensions settings, but I can't get it to work.

THANKS!!! - Woodie2
