Pipe Size Tag with a "-" B/T Inch & Fraction

[mwwce]

Does anyone know how to make the "size" parameter, add a dash (-) inbetween the inch and the fraction (ex: 2-1/2", 1-1/2")?

Thanks in advance.

Bump! Been looking for the same thing but to no avail.

Revit is not very kind in regards to custom formatting, and I believe that this is simply impossible.

Have there been any progress on this issue with the recent releases?

This is still not possible. If the setting existed it would probably be in the 'Project Units' area.

From Autodesk's perspective, if an issue prevents you from conveying design intent, then it gets raised up the list of features to add. I don't think there is a strong argument that missing the dash meets that criteria.

Thanks jlondenberg for the response. This type of format is more of a personal/office preference. To me 1'-11 1/2" looks better than 1' 11 1/2". The "ones" can bleed together and can easily be mis-read as 111 or something like that, especially when plans get worn or are reproduced at a smaller scale. Anyway, thanks for the input!

The dash between feet and inches is default if you change the units for pipe size to feet and inches.

There is no option for a dash between the whole inches and fractional inches

Yeah, this is one of those items that is not critical to design intent. It would certainly be nice to have the option to format dimensions in the manner described above. That being said, the English teacher in me (my past job) would argue that the dash would only be needed to separate different units. Meaning there would only be a dash between the feet and inches as Revit displays by default. I'd still like the options anyways!

Add the formula to the lable

 if(Diameter = 1.25", "1-1/4''", if(Diameter = 1.5", "1-1/2''", if(Diameter = 1.75", "1-3/4''", if(Diameter = 2.25", "2-1/4''", if(Diameter = 2.5", "2-1/2''", if(Diameter = 2.75", "2-3/4''", if(Diameter = 3.25", "3-1/4''", if(Diameter = 3.5", "3-1/2''", if(Diameter = 3.75", "3-3/4''", if(Diameter = 4.25", "4-1/4''", if(Diameter = 4.5", "4-1/2''", if(Diameter = 4.75", "4-3/4''", if(Diameter = 5.25", "5-1/4''", if(Diameter = 5.5", "5-1/2''", if(Diameter = 5.75", "5-3/4''", if(Diameter = 6.25", "6-1/4''", if(Diameter = 6.5", "6-1/2''", if(Diameter = 6.75", "6-3/4''", if(Diameter = 7.25", "7-1/4''", if(Diameter = 7.5", "7-1/2''", if(Diameter = 7.75", "7-3/4''", if(Diameter = 8.25", "8-1/4''", if(Diameter = 8.5", "8-1/2''", if(Diameter = 8.75", "8-3/4''", if(Diameter = 9.25", "9-1/4''", if(Diameter = 9.5", "9-1/2''", if(Diameter = 9.75", "9-3/4''", if(Diameter = 10.25", "10-1/4''", if(Diameter = 10.5", "10-1/2''", if(Diameter = 10.75", "10-3/4''", if(Diameter > 354", "Holland Tunnel", Size)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Where do you add this formula?
