I am putting dual dimensions on my drawings but they are getting kind of cluttered.  I have to make the font a bit bigger then I would like as some of the guys in manufacturing have not the greatest eyesight and will mis-read dimensions if they are not in "large size" print!!  Generally we like to have anything longer the 60" (5') displayed in feet and inches, and anything under in inches only.  Since I have yet to figure an easy way of doing this (I know I can override the dimension, but then there is room for error in translation and the dimension won't update if I make changes) do I have decided using dual dimensions is the next best thing.  But would like to have the 'dual' dimension in a smaller font. 

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Colleen
