Problem with decimal places

[skwasim_smile]

Hii,


Iam new to this forum hope u guy's can help me out with my problem, my problem is that I want the dimension to be in 3 decimal places and when I click the dimension and go to the properties and try to change it to 3 decimal places nothing happens and my dimension is in Nominal mode can you please tell me how can I achieve this dimension


(e.g I need the dimension to be 231.000 but the dimension is showing 231 even after I change it to 3 decimal for places in dimension properties)

1. If the dimension is a dual dimension then it might be controlled by dual_digits_diff from drawing dtl.


2. If the dimension is in a note then you have to select the dimension to be able to change the number of decimal places.


3. try to change it with fromat / decimal places.


Last one should definately work.

Checkthe "lead_trail_zeros" in your config file? Maybe it's been changed? Mine is set to: std_default andI have no problem.

If you need all dimensions that you add to a drawing to have 3 decimal places then you should change in config. pro the option default_dec_places to 3 (tools / options)


But Bobb may have a point there, that could be another option you should change lead_trail_zeros in your .dtl file in drawing right click on the drawing / properties / options but change it to both. lead_trail_zeros controles how the zeros are displayed in drawing. Try different options to see.


Try the first one, if that doesn't work see if lead_trail_zeros is set toboth , if not change it to this option


std_default will not work if the model units are mm, it will still blank the zeros.

Trailing zero's are NOT allowed on dimensions if your drawing conforms to ASME Y14.5m or ISO 1101.
