Decimal Places Disappearing in Drawing

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a drawing with dimensions in mm to 2 decimal places for tolerance purposes. I have one dimension which is 24.00 and when I set the number of decimal places to X.XX it displays 24 instead of 24.00. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I am using Creo 4.

There is options in the drawings setup (under FILE-PREPARE-DRAWING PROPERTIES-detail options CHANGE) that is probably removing trailing zeros.

In general, drafting standards for metric (ISO) say that you do not display trailing zeros.

    If metrics standards say not to display trailing zeros how would I communicate the tolerances for those dimensions so they are +/- the standard +/- for X.XX in my drawing table? Instead of the +/- for X.X? If that makes sense

    It's been some time since I have used metric (iso standard) but I believe that you are not allowed to use that method to define tolerances. I may be wrong so someone who is familiar with recent ISO would have to confirm that statement.

      Has the dimension been "rounded", we recently upgrade to 4.0M050 and had a similar problem with an existing drawing where I couldn't get the decimals places to show.. Dimension in sketch had been rounded
