I am using Creo Parametric 8.0 8.0.2.0

I need to create a drawing with two sheets, the first sheet with dimensions in millimeters and the second sheet with dimensions in fractional inches. It's possible?

    Not easily because Creo will only let you display each dimension one time anywhere in the drawing.  You could manually create extra dimensions, but many of the settings that control how dimensions are displayed will control the entire drawing, not just one page.  You're probably better off creating two different drawings - one with the dimension options configured for only the primary units and the other drawing configured to only display the secondary units.

      This is not part of Creo Parametric. There is only one .dtl file for a particular drawing. I would recommend to create two drawings.
