How can I change the text on an elevation marker to read 0'-0" instead of 0"?  (I'm using RA2009).  The elevation properties dialog says the elevation is 0' 0", but that's not how it shows up on screen.  I just think it's silly to Cryingfor example) have a second floor elevation read as 12'-6", but the first floor read as 0".  It seems like there should be an option for a prefix, like what's possible for a linear dimension.

Look at your project units settings - length.  The box "suppress 0 feet" has been checked - uncheck that box.

Actually, this won't work.  It forces all dimensions throughout the project to have the "zero feet" unsuppressed.  So anywhere I use linear dimension strings, it will affect the dimensions...so if I want a detailed dimension to just show as 2", now it shows as 0'-2".  Is there a way to divorce the way elevation markers are treated vs. linear dimensions?
