Alternate Decimal Separator for Alternate Units in Dimensions

[Wish List System]

Summary: Enable Alternate units to have a different separator than that of the current dimension style

Description: When using alternate units for Metric equivalents, it would be nice to be allowed to change the separator in alternate units to be a "comma" while maintaining the "period" separator while in imperial units. Offer a selection in alternate units to select the type of decimal separator to be used. Alternatively, this could also be applied if dimensions were in metric requiring a comma, but alternate units being imperial should have a comma.

+1.

imperial = "period" + metric = "period" or "comma" would cover pretty much all national standards.

Agreed. I am hopeful that similar to the dimension settings that can be altered in the dimension style manager, that within alternate units, a user would be able to make it an independant item, not controlled by the style manager. I do a lot of dimensioning where I need to have the imperial (period) separator and the metric (comma) separator on the same dimension...the ability to select what you need would be a great thing...
