Gooday!
Being a neophite with the Solidworks system, could one of you whiz kids, help me?
My client needs his dimensions in Feet and inches on the drawing sheets, I’ve tried to get the dim’s to look like 2′ – 4″ which is supposidly the default, but it ends up 2′ 4″. Am I reading it wrong?or am I missing something—– possibly a brain.
CBL and 
BEEGEE are discussing.

With the drawing open, go to Tools > Options > Document Properties > Units, and then set the options as shown in the attached image.

CBL …. Thanks for the “input” —- but isn’t the one shown using the dual work units? i.e. (metric & inches) — I’m working soley in feet – inches – fractions, and the default just does not seem to work..
Hope you can help, there must be something I’m overlooking….

Select whatever settings you want for the dimension. The point of the image was to show the option under the “More” column. i.e. “Convert 2’4″ to 2′-4″”
