Is there a way to suppress the zero feet in the dimensions?

Thanks

Simple answer is no. You can only suppress the leading 0

And if what dhurtubise said is what you are looking for, just go to Settings menu, Project Units, Lenght and check Suppress 0 feet.

Thanks for the help. I guess I have to live with the 0'-11" in my dimensions.

No you don't have to! As I said before, just go to Settings menu, Project Units, Lenght and check Suppress 0 feet.

I did that and the 0 feet are still showing. Is there a dimension update similar to AutoCad?

Have you changed the properties of the units in the dimension type? Select a dimension string, go to it's properties, click Edit/New and check the "Units Format".

Now that was too easy! I am just learning this tool and it is really kicking my rear end. I looked into the dimension style, but like a dummy, I missed the units with the "suppress zero feet" checkbox.

Thanks for all of your help.

Dimensions can either follow project unit settings, or you can specify different settings. If you have different settings, then you have to suppress 0 feet there. If they follow project unit settings, then you have to make the change from the Settings > Units menu.
