How do I set the decimal place for the primary units in a drawing? (WF5)

[jartin]

I'm using WF5. I cannot figure out how to control the number of digits to the right of the decimal place for primary units. My design is metric. I do not need to list drawing dimensions out to the fourth decimal place.

Hi Joel,

The number of decimal places is controlled by the config option default_dec_places.  If you set it to your desired value, e.g. 2, then the dimensions will have 2 decimal places.

Please note that this is only for models & dimensions created AFTER the option is set.  So for any existing models, the dimensions would still show the decimal place that was set previously, in your example that is probably 4.

Thanks,

Amit
