Inch marks in dimensioning?

Is there a way to get UM indicators (feet and inches specifically) added to my dimensions? I don't see a way other than manually editing each one. I'm using 1.0.2 (Ubuntu 12.10) if that matters.

Thanks for any help- and thank you even making this question possible.

What is UM?

Anyway, if you want to see dimension text as 2'-3" you need to set "main drawing units" as "inch" and "Length format" as "Architectural" from Edit -> Current Drawing preferences.

Hi
I don't know what "UM" is.
May be micrometer?
But I for my part, would like the length unit to be written on the dimension line.
In other way I would like replace "??" by the unit set up in the preferences

UM- Unit of Measure. Sorry if my terminology is incorrect.

We do a lot of small drawings where the largest item is only 4". When I used the fractional format, it doesn't input the mark ", and I hate seeing the 0'-4", 0'- 3/8", etc.

Right now I edit these manually, or make a blanket statement about "All dimensions in inches" kind of thing.

Thanks for the responses...
