trailing zero's in a tolerance

trailing zero's in a tolerance

(OP)
Has anyone found a way to get rid of trailing zero's in a dim tolerance.  For example I have a dim 53 +0.1 -0.005  My setup wants to put it as 53 +0.100 -0.005.  I found a section where you can set your leading/trailing zero's but it doesn't seem to change it for a tolerance.

Thanks in advance.

RE: trailing zero's in a tolerance

I realize that this doesn't answer your question, but are you working to ASME Y14.5?  If so, the dimension and it's tolerance should have the same number of decimal places (unless it is a metric basic or metric unilateral tolerance).

We are working in ISO with Metric dims.
