Cannot get fractional dims to show in just inches, not feet-inches, see below.

Cannot get fractional dims to show in just inches, not feet-inches, see below.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeM050

I am trying to show fractional dimensions in inches, not feet-inches. For example, 1' 5-3/4" = 17-3/4".
I have tried changing config-pro and I can't seem to find the right option.
In the Dimension Properties window, the Nominal Value shows just inches. Why doesn't it show up that way on the drawing?
Is there a way I can get it to?

Here are the errors that I faced
None

File/Prepare/Drawing Properties

In the dialog box, select 'change' next to Detail Options.

Select 'find' and search for use_major_units.

 

This should be set to 'no'

Hi AJ,

Thank you for your reply.

I actually tried that, and they still came up as feet and inches in the drawing. Even though it showed just inches in the Parameters.

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,

With the drawing open,In the drawing setup files under

file - prepare - drawing properties - detail options change 

verify use_major_units NO

 

In the config.pro, verify use_major_units NO

 

open the model that the drawing refers to  

under file - prepare- model properties-detail options -change 

verify use_major_units NO

I checked all of that and it’s still giving me feet & inches for fractions.

Can you attach the model and drawing? Maybe you can delete all the features in the model except one and share.
