Text and Dimension Properties
Note:
  • If the distance to be converted is less than 1 inch, only fractions of an inch are included in the dimension by default, for example 3/4". If you want 0 to be the first dimension figure, for example 0 3/4", add the keyword suppress_zero_inches= 0 to the draft keyword group.
