Does anybody know if there is a way to add a value (0.060) to a dimension in an annotation. I tried <DIM> + 0.060 and that does not work.

Do you mean override a dimension's value?
If you click on the dimension in question you have options on the left, towards the bottom there's a checkbox in Primary Value, to "Override Value:", click that and you are able to input any value you want. Alternatively you could clear the text in Dimension Text just below Primary Value and you might get a warning about disabling tolerances, hit yes to that and type in any value or text you want to appear instead of the true dimension.
If I'm understanding you, you want a dimension to show up in a note. Though, I'm not sure why you'd want to do this in a sketch.
Create your dimension. Create an annotation note. With the note active, simple click on the dimension. It's value will be added to your note.
Just open a new sketch in the part, anywhere. Draw a line and dimension it. Assign an equation to that new dimension = "A"-Dim +.060, where "A"-Dim is the nominal dimension.
Hide the new sketch. Link the new dimension to a Global Variable.
In the drawing refer the global variable or the new dimension inside the note.
You can change the tolerance type to limit. then change the upper limit to .060.
