This pane, shown below, allows you to set options for the secondary, or dual, dimensions value. Many of these are the same as for Primary Units. Those that are new or different are described below.

Display dual units information

When selected, the dimension displays information about its dual units

Placement mode

Where the dual units information is placed with respect to the primary unit information. Available options are Right or Below.

Units

The units in which the dimension is calculated. Available units are Inches, Millimeters, Feet, Centimeters, Yards, Meters and User. If you select User, then the Conversion factor field becomes available so you can define the User units.

Dimension scale

Conversion from part units to the dimension units. For example, if the part is created in Inches and the dimensions are set to millimeters, the conversion factor is 25.4. The number of inches times 25.4 equals the number of millimeters.
