I use Architectural units; how do I get only inches when I am drawing? Feet and inches just make me do more work...

You might try 'Fractional (Stacked)' with the suffix as ".
What do you mean by "get"?
Ripped from ACAD help:
DIMLUNIT Type: Integer Saved in: Drawing Initial value: 2 Sets units for all dimension types except Angular.
1 Scientific 2 Decimal 3 Engineering 4 Architectural (always displayed stacked) 5 Fractional (always displayed stacked) 6 Microsoft Windows Desktop (decimal format using Control Panel settings for decimal separator and number grouping symbols)Just type DIMLUNIT and enter 5. You'll get regular inches. EX: DIMLUNIT set to 4 = 4'-3 3/8" DIMLUNIT set to 5 = 51 3/8" DIMLUNIT set to 2 = 51.375"

Yes, but I think that it does not show the " (inches) symbol.
(Ehem) This sounds too easy...
Scale your drawing (UP) by 12 and set units to decimal. Each unit will be 1" instead of 1'.

Uh, no. Architectural units are already inches. ___
It does if you tell it to (ddim / notation / suffix). ___

That is what my original message was about (:-)
Like I said, the answer depends on what is meant by "get". Everyone's guessing.....
Awesome...thanks a million. I now know how to limit the expression to just inches AND choose whether or not to have the inches symbol. I am very grateful...

You are very welcome.
In this group it's usually a case of "Seek, and ye shall find!"
