I want to be able to see inches and mm when using the Measure Tool.

I set Dual_dim to Primary[Secondary] through model properties, but that does not seem to have an affect on the Measure tool.

I know that you can toggle between units through the options on the measure tool, but I'd rather not have to keep switching back and forth.

That option is only for dimensions, not the measuring tool.

I don't think the measuring tool will display dual dimensions at this point. Since it used primarily for verifying your design, it will default to your units of design.

Sad, most "mid-range" products can do this.

You can easily switch back and forth from any unit to any other unit while the actual measured distance is still displayed, i.e. you don't lose your measurement. It's easy, the setting is in the "Options" button above the "Units" in the pop-up measurement window. I think the measurement tool is far better than solidQuirks. I've never needed both at the same time on the screen so it's certainly not any sort of major issue, and having the ability to use any unit and not being limited to just "dual dimensions" to me is a far greater advantage. 🙄
