Question

Ordinate dimension base line with no decimal places

Is there a way to automatically have the baseline have no decimal places. The zero and the begining of an ordinate dimension defaults to the current default decimal places and it is standard practice here to change the decimal places for the baseline to zero.


I have a mapkey that does it quick but automatic is better than running a mapkey.


I try to automate all of my repetitive activities and this one is starting to annoy me.


Thanks in advance for your help.

If you do metric dimensioning and suppress trailing zeros then you will automatically have a baseline with no zeros. Set lead_trail_zeros STD_METRIC in your drawing detail file.
