Variable Text Field After Limiting Decimal Places in a Symbol

I've got a drawing symbol with some variable text fields in it. One of
my fields shows a real number parameter called DISTANCE1 in it. I'm
limiting the number of decimal places using [.3] at the end to limit the
number of decimal places to 3.



I've got it called out in the variable text field as &DISTANCE1[.3].
This works fine. The problem I have is when I try to add any text after
this.



For example, if I put in "&DISTANCE1[.3] mm", the whole field shows as
blank in my symbol. I submitted a call to PTC but I thought I would try
this group as well.

Add curly brackets, similar to this example: {0: mm}, and it should work
for you.
