If you aren't on Pro and able to use computed properties, you could use FeatureScript to hijack an existing property, like "Description" or "Title_1" with a custom feature to show them. Here's an example.

Here are the basic steps:- set the values as variables
- make a feature that calls those variables, and converts them to a readable format (i.e. rounding them, removing the units, adding other text like "Length" etc)
- insert the feature after the part is created and select it.

I don't know your comfort level with programming, so I may be under-explaining it. Feel free to ask for more info where needed.
