In the bottom right corner you can choose just to select Dimension:

Select everything in the drawing, and then at the top you will have the Round Dimension option:

Once you have the drawing converted to metric, select all of the dimensions. One of the tabs will be Precision and it will have a drop down for you to select the number of decimal places to show on a drawing.

On metric drawings, decimal places are not used to specify the default tolerance for a dimension like an inch drawing.

You should also look at setting the lead_trail_zeros detail option.

Whats the best way to select all dimensions? I tried doing a zoom cursur to highlight everything but the precision tab wont show. If I select them individually holding the ctrl key it works.

I do not know of any way other than selecting them all with the Ctrl key and mouse clicking.

    If this is true
    > "Im using Creo 5.0."
    You are in the wrong forum.
    Here is the "Community Creo Elements Direct Drafting".
    I am not sure, but maybe you should try there.
    "Community Creo Parametric 3D Part & Assembly Design Topics labeled: 2D Drawing".
    Too bad about the lost time.
    Can maybe a moderator give some help here?
