Number of decimal

Hi,

I want to change the number of decimal on a drawing.
For example, if the size is 35.487 I do not have any problem to display the number of digit I want.
But if the original size is 35, I cannot display 35.00
Somebody knows how to get that ?
The sole way I found is to add .00 in the suffix

Thanks for help
 
What if you select the 35 dimension > 'Properties', and change the decimal places to 2. Does it not show 35.00? Dr_gallups is a more permanent way though if you don't want to right click > set decimal places for every dimension.

No ! If I set the decimal place to 2, ProeE display 35

dr_gallup
Could you please give me more information ? Here what is set to these options :
lead_trail_zeros STD_METRIC
lead_trail_zeros_scope DIMS

What should I do ?
 
I've noticed that my lead_trail_zeros is set to 'STD-DEFAULT'. If I switch it back to STD-METRIC - it doesn't display 35.00.

Come on people, learn to use the help system!


lead_trail_zeros


Controls display of leading and trail zeros in dimensions.

Default and Available Settings
[*]
std_default*
 
One thing not mentioned is that Metric dimesnions when done IAW Y14.5, do NOT show trailing zeros. 35 is all you should see on the drawing when a metric part feature is modeled to 35.00000 or any value between 34.500001 and 35.499999when set to zero decimal places.
