Show controller measure in both inches and feet & inches?

[Top Spin]

Is there a way to get the controller measurement shape to display the
length in both inches and also feet and inches?

Something like this:

3'-4" 40"

If you examine the original shape, you will find that the text in the text
block is a field. Though the information about the field is not displayed,
you can check it's content by selecting the field and then chossing Field
from the Insert menu. The current field selection will be displayed.

To add a second set of units. Note the settings of the current field and
then place the text insertion pointer before (or after) the field. Then
choose Field from the Insert menu and enter the same values, but change the
display format. You may want to enter a space to seperate the two fields.
