Adding unit to dimension label

Re: Adding unit to dimension label
Typically, one would indicate the drawing unit in a drawing header (for example: "All units in Inches unless stated otherwise").
To add a unit (or any other text) to a dimension label, you can use <> in the dimension label text for the actual measurement.
For example:
Results in 30" if the measurement is 30".
Results in R12mm if the measurement is 12 drawing units, etc.
You can edit the dimension label text while creating a dimension in the options toolbar: Or you can change it later for all selected dimensions in one go using the property editor:
