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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
(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:
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

Edit: Ps. How do you do that? >'When I convert a metric part to inch'
What version of Creo are you using? your inteface looks nothing like mine. Im using Creo 5.0.
thank you.
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 😄
