Setting Measurment Options Decimal places
Setting Measurment Options Decimal places
(OP)
Hello all,
Does anyone know how I can use the custom props for mass in a drawing and have it show 1 or 2 place decimal? The problem with setting the assembly or model to 1 or 2 places is that it will effect the measurement in that model. I want to beable to measure to a 4 places in the model but have the drawing show a 1 or 2 place from the properties.
thanks

RE: Setting Measurment Options Decimal places
"Decimal places" can be set independently from each other when it comes to models and drawings. If you go to: Tools/options and then click on the document setting tabs, there will be a unit’s option. The one in the model is independent from the one for the drawing. When it comes to measuring in the model, the situation is the same for the measuring tool. You can set its decimal places to whatever you want in the measuring tools window option tab.
Hope this helps.

IS there away to change this in the drawing link but not change it in the model?

Add that with the number you require and it may work for you.

Is what you want to do is have the number of decimal places for mass properties to be 4 in the modle and the assembly but have it display 2 desimal places in the drawing?
