How do I add zeros after the decimal place? (Creo 2 Drawing) ?

[melreynolds]

I have set the decimal places to 2 however the dimension still displays without any zeros. Also the over-ride option does not work.

Is this a metric drawing? I believe the standard is to have no trailing zeros on metric dimensions and Creo upholds that standard. I don't know if you can override the behavior, but if so it's got to be a "drawing.dtl" setting.

Yes it's a metric drawing. I've tried a few settings but i have not been able to display as 6.00

Try changing drawing option lead_trail_zeros to an appropriate option.

Hi MaheshSh, that has worked.

I needed to select "Std_English" to allow the inclusion of zeros.

Thanks for both your help guys.

Best regards,

Mel

Why are you trying to display trailing zeros on a metric drawing against the standards?

If it is for default tolerance, then explicitly state the tolerance, not circumvent the standard.

When I look at a drawing and see trailing zeros, I automatically assume it is dimensioned in English units.

When I see a leading zero, I assume it is in metric units.

There is a reason for the standard to define which units use leading and trailing zeros!

Hi Ben you are correct.

I was trying to circumvent the standard and incorrectly so.

I've reverted to just putting a tolerance on this dimension rather than using English units.
