In regular AutoCAD one would use the "Alternate Units" feature found in their Dimension Style.

DimStyle > Modify > Alternate Units tab.

Checkoff the box for "Display Alternate Units".

Make your selections.  Click the OK button when you are done.

Exit the DimStyle dialog box.

Am I correct in assuming that you will have the metric dimensions appear above the dimension line and the imperial units appear below?
