Advance Steel – How to Change Slope Dimensions to Display in Inches or Degrees

ISSUE

You have created a drawing which have sloped dimensions on it. You want the dimensions to display in inches rather than feet. Perhaps you have a client that wants to have the slope dimensions displayed in degrees rather than inches. How do you accomplish this in Advance steel?
