Single type of unit in a mixed drawing

I just figured this out for myself.

I have an assembly drawing that has both metric and imperial (inch) parts in it. I want all the the dimensions to display in metric.

To accomplish this, change Drawing Options (.dtl file) thus:

dual_secondary_units - mm (or inch if you want all to display in inch)

dual_dimensioning - secondary

Then all dimensions will display only secondary units, and they will all be the same type.
