I never use alternative unit to change mm,cm,m to inches or inches to mm,cm,m coz i hate this [] Brackets.You can do with "scale factor" under
"primary units" tab from Dim style Dialog box.Then you can see dim with mm suffix.I did for you sample dwg with 3 dim style.(mm,ft,ft with scale factor) and show sample.Pls check mate!

[] brackets are the standard, don't know of a way to change [] to (). And why would anyone need to?

Do you know where I can find a list of these variables? I searched through the AutoCAD help files but can't find them.

I am not sure, but if you have something you are looking for, I can try to help.

( ) instead of [ ]

In the Primary Units set:
dim Suffix: = mm\X\f

In the Alternate Units set:
dim Prefix = ;(

dim Suffix = )\f

• Remove mm if you do not want it to say mm after your dimension. This is for metric units

.................................................. .....................................
Remove [ ]

In the Primary Units set:
dim Suffix: = mm\X\f

In the Alternate Units set:
dim Prefix = ;
dim Suffix = \f

Note: If your dimension has fractions in front and in back of your dimension and it is not suppose to be there, change your font!
