Summary: The ability to have alternative dimensions calculated based on the text override in a dimension.

Description: i wish autocad could read text override in dimensions and still calculate alternate dimensions.
lets say a line measures 10'-0", but the dimension says 24'-0". normally alternate units would take the 10'-0" measurement and add the alternate units of 3048 mm but since 24'-0" isnt a measurement but rather just text, there is no alternate units to display. I really wish I could find a way to get the alternate units inserted automatically by reading the text.

How Used: People can save alot time by not having to do the calculations to get the alternate dimensions on there.

Feature Affinity: Dimensions
