Does anyone know how to create a dimension string that includes english and metric dimensions on one string.

ex: 100'-0" (35.5m)

The way I would do this is to create 2 strings of dimension - 1 in imperial (100' - 0) and another in metric (35.5m)

I will then align the 2 strings of dimension together but move the dimension text apart  100'  (35.5 m)

I doubt Revit will allow you to do 2 types of dimension on a SINGLE string.

I asked this question as Autodesk Conference before.

This is just more tedious. 2 times work here!

Or you could just add text next to the original dimension.  Or I guess there is always the option of using a suffix.  Granted neither of these options are parametric (ie: accurate)

Is there a good way to do this now, or will Revit still not allow you to have Metric and and SAE?

The two strings is still the answer.
