Converting metric part/drawing to inch

[MG_10452755]

When I convert a metric part to inch I get 12 decimal places on the drawing. how to I limit the decimal places to 4?

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.

You can type

       CHANGE_DIM_FORMAT '0.1111' ALL

on the command line as well.

Hello,

Push F2 for selection then (look better attached file 😳)

and change what you want.

Success

If this is true

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?

 Yes the correct forum would be helpful.

Thank you very much.

Hello, I informed the moderator.

But you could do that yourself next time 😄

(I'm using Creo 7, I hope these are the same in Creo 5)

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:
