setting a dimension in both cm and m

Hello.
I do not seem to figure out how to make dimensions appear in two ways in the same time, meaning in cm when a under 1 meter and in meters when over 1 meter. Is it possible?
Thank you a lot.

No. Wish we could, same with Imperial Units.

I'd like to differ.
If I understood it correctly the following option should solve your problem.

Sorry for german screenshot. You will figure it out 😉

Looks like I misunderstood the question..
Thought that what was wanted was an option to have dimensions substitue based on a rule not size (which AC can do).

For example AC will not substitute 12" for 1'-0" automatically.

Thanks for the catch.
