Decimal Feet as dimensioning unit

[chuck_cantieny]

Shouldn't decimal feet be a standard for unit for dimensions? I hate having to tell people doing civil work that AutoCAD won't do that. You have to use decimal units and set DIMLFAC to .0833333. And while I'm at it - Why can't you remove the suffix on a dimension child? I have to create children for all my civil dimension styles to add the foot mark. You can't remove it from just the angular child.

Amen Brother. I think there are many areas that Autodesk needs to address regarding dimensioning capabilities. You might have noticed too that the #10 Item on this years wish list was addressing the ability to set the linetype of the extension lines. This was a good start but in my opinion a waste since there are so many additional limitations relating to dimensioning that should have been included under that wish list item.
