showing fractions in measurement lines

[lew]

Does anyone know how to automatically show fractions instead of decimals when
using dimension lines in drawings.

Open shape sheet, and enter "# ##/##"
in the Format cell of the Text Fields.

If you use the settings under Right-click > Precision & Units..., you can
choose Feet-Inch and it will display inches in fractions. IE 1'-4 3/16"

thanks for the response, but when I found how to open shape sheet I couldn't
find Format cell of the Text Fields

 

[junethesecond]

select a shape, press right hand button of the mouse,
select "display shapesheet(or open ...)" .
please see next post by Chris, the best solution.

Thanks Chris, I've tried that fix but it shows feet and inches. I want to
just show inches. Do you have any ideas?
