Displaying Imperial Dimension as Fractions but Tolerance as Decimal

In Creo Parametric drawing, is there a way of showing imperial dimensions as fractions but have the tolerance values as decimal?

 

IE. 3 1/4 +-.010

 

We currently run V11

No way to do that except by "manually" adding it to the text of the dimension. It's considered poor practice, anyway. If a dimension is going to have a decimal tolerance it should be presented as a decimal dimension. I wouldn't be surprised if mixing them is against standard practices.

Thank you. I thought that may be the case.

 

I agree it's bad practice but we've been asked to replicate an existing manual drawing.
