English and Metric Drawing

Is there any way to create a drawing that has two identical sheets except that one has Metric units and the other has English? I would also like to be able to export both sheets ofthis drawing asone DWG with each sheet on its own tab.
 
Is there a reason you wouldn't want to have dual dimensions? (metric and imperial shown on the same dim)
 
That is what I would prefer, but the drawings I need this for are fairly crammed full of dimensions and geometric tolerances, so using dual dimensions really makeseverything hard to read.
 
The only way I know to do this is to save a copy of your drawing and change the dual units on it to secondary. Then go back to your original drawing, add a blank second sheet and insert an overlay of the copy.

I think exporting to AutoMAD always makes 2 files but you might be able to recombine them in AutoMAD.
