Dimensioning Alternate Label Settings should include the ability to select Leading Zero and Trailing Zeros

When working with Dimension Styles, I would like the ability to turn leading and trailing zeros off in Alternate Label settings. Currently, when creating a dimension style, leading and trailing zeros are controlled ONLY by the Primary Units settings.

When following Architectural Dimensioning conventions, we typically show trailing zeros (such as 1'-0") and leading zeros on fractional inches IF the overall dimension is greater than 1 foot (1'-0 1/4"). However, we do NOT show leading zeros on fractional inches if the dimension is LESS than 1 foot (1/4").

The current dimension style tool does not allow this functionality from within the same dimension style, instead, it is "either/or". Rather than make a separate dimension style for fractional inches to display properly, we would like to see the dimension style tool incorporate leading and trailing zero display into the Alternate Label settings as well.
