Dimensioning decimal places

Hi all,

Is there a way to show how decimal places are displayed on 2D drawings?

I have the config currently set at 0 places but if the dimension is for example 21.5 i would like it to display as 21.5 and not round up to 22.

I know I can manually change the dimension it to 1 decimal place but is there a way it will auto do it?

 

Thanks

Are you looking to show decimals only when there is a decimal?

Set decimal places to 1 and set trailing zeros to no.

There is always more to learn.

    Hi, yes that's what i want to show.

    What is the config name for the trailing zeros?

    Drawing settings are stored in a separate file called a dtl file. You can access the drawing options in drawing mode. I believe the setting you want to change is lead_trail_zeros.
