We are using both Metric and American. When having F12 on, and selecting a box then placing my mouse over one of the grab points it shows the length of that boxes two side that are used at that grab point. My question is it shows the length in Metric. Is there a way to show it in American units as well? Like on dimensions how you can show both.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

What version of AutoCAD are you using? You can toggle on the [DYN] button on the bottom row of buttons. If this is what you are referring to, I think it is only controlled by the UNITS command, but I may be wrong.

Yes that is it. We are using AutoCAD 2007 lite. I want to see both Metric and Standard measurements. Is that possible?

I don't think you can do that yet with AutoCAD. I tried setting my dimension settings to alternate dimensions to see if that might effect it, but there was no change. I think the number displayed is only controlled by the UNITS command.
