I am working on the sketch, each time I make dimension, I have to click the "dual dimension" to show the dual dimension, any way can automatic show both dimension?

Thanks

Ping,
Go to Tools>Options>Document properties>dimensions
In there is the option to turn on dual dimensions.

  So how do you make dual dimensions stay on in the sketch of a part that is saved and reloaded?
  I am using SW2015 SP5.0 and have set dual dims to be on in the document settings of options. These stay ticked when reloding the file but each dim in the sketches have the value menu box "Dual Dimension" unticked?

If you want this all the time you need to update your templates with this change.
