Hi balaji..

For showing fractional dim. in parametric BOM table,
just pick that dimension on drawing view..right click..properties..then on the right side of dialogue box there is one option of format--> select fractional in that...accordingly your BOM table will update to reflect fractional values of that dim.

I hope you are using WF-4
 
for the second question:
you need to set model unit in feet for that.
I model..go to edit>setup>units> then select FPS(feet-pound-second...update drawing.
Note: take care if you convert already created model from one unit to other...it will ask you for conversion or just change of unit keeping same value..
 
Hi sachin in my drawing both are not working.

I can change the units in model.But it is showing 5.20 in drafting.


I need 5'2" in drafting.I am using WF4.
