Dimensioning holes in drawing

I have a part that has both metric and UNC type threaded holes. I always work in metric so when I try to dimension the UNC holes the diameters are displayed in mm's. Can I change this to display the imperial fraction i.e. 3/8 UNC
 
I don't know of any way to show both type within a single drawing. Dual dimensioning will show both for each dimension, but I don't think that is what you want. The only solution that I can think of, is to create a seperate note and put the text in the way you want it.
 
If you use Show/Erase you can show the thread detail (it's a note atteched to the first hole in a thread pattern).
