Question
Decimal Places in Drawing

Hello all
We are seeing some very odd results in Detailing in WF5 (M080) and am
hoping this was already addressed in a previous post and someone has a
quick fix for me.
Details:
* Original design and detailing completed in WF4
o Inch-based parts, metric dims in drawing (our parts in are inch mode
for internal purposes but we need to use Secondary Units set to metric
for our customer)
* Just rolled out WF5 and needed to revised project and update
prints
Problem:
* All the secondary units unraveled to 12 decimal places (see
pic)... and cannot be fixed unless I re-dimension or Edit Attachments of
all dims... OUCH, on one project, it is hundreds of dimensions!
What I tried so far:
* Manually change number of decimal places on any or all dims but
dims don't change
* Assumed it was a personal config option so I stripped out all
configs to test an out-of-the-box scenario with no luck.
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Paul
