units of measure not changing

Joseph Sensenig Nov 22, 2013 10:10 AM

I have my units of measure in drawing file set to show dimension with 3-place decimal, but dimensions are still coming out with 2-place decimal. What is wrong?

I changed my drafting standard to ANSI, and it seems to work now.

Make sure Trailing Zeros under Tools > Options > Document Properties > Dimensions are set to show.

  Is set to show, but still only 2 place with ISO standard. Dimension such as .125" shows as .13".

    Try Tools > Options > Document Properties > Units.
    Click on one of the boxes under "Decimals" and you'll get a drop-down menu.

      That's what my question is. I have it set to ".123" and it still dimensions as ".12"

        Have you also set ".123" in Dimensions > Primary Precision & Dual Precision ?

        Primary was, but not dual.

      Mine is working in ISO now too... Maybe it had something to do with the drafting standard being "ISO-MODIFIED" ?
