third decimal digit smaller

Hi there.

I would like to know if there's a way to add extra customization to dimension styles; The way I use dimensions, I always assure that I have at least two decimal digits, but I work with 3 decimal digits; When I have a dimension that has mm (i work in meters), it shows the third decimal digit, but if it's a zero, it supresses it; However, I don't want it to supress the second decimal digit if it's a zero, because I've figured out in my experience people make more mistakes in the construction site if I do. I end up using a 3 decimal digit dim style, and then changing manually to 2 digits when the last the third one is a zero, but it's a time consuming process. Is there another way to work this? Something like, supress trailing zeros after the 'N'th decimal digit.

Other thing I'd like to do, because people read dimensions easier that way, is to have the third decimal digit smaller and higher than the other digits. I do this when I handsketch and most workers read those dimensions better. I know it's technically not the correct way of representation but it works so I'd like to use it in AutoCAD.

See the attached jpeg for exemples of how I'd like to be able to set upa a dim style.

Anyone knows a way of doing this? Can it be done through scripting? Thanks
