I want to place a dimension with 2 units in Pro/ENGINEER Drawing. Is it possible for me to do that?

ProE Drawing dual dimensioning

Yes, the answer is possible. The method is pretty simple actually. Set these 2 options in the drawing option (File > Properties > Drawing Options) will do.

dual_dimensioning	primary[secondary] or secondary[primary]
dual_secondary_units	mm, cm, m, inch or foot
