Feature: Especially for Inch/Imperial users more choices for measured value (e.g. inch + cm on the same line)

For dimensions there's a "measured value":

I would like to be able to set at least two units for that measured value, e.g.:
  • Measured value display type one: inch
  • Measured value display type two: cm

So a resulting visible label of:

<-------------------- 16" (40.64 cm) +- ----------------->

Regardless of the units of the drawing itself.

What I find myself doing is manually overriding the "measured value" to do the same thing, with the danger that it becomes inaccurate.
A check function for accuracy of the measured value vs. display value seems too fragile to suggest.

Hi, may I ask you for what do you need those imperial/metric dims?
