Changing the tolerance precision?

Changing the tolerance precision?

Changing the tolerance precision?

(OP)
Hi,

I have done two almost identical models with a drawing for each. On one drawing I can set the bilateral tolerances of dimensions as +0.05 -0 and the precision as to 0.12 (2 decimal places) and the drawing writes them as +0.05 & 0.00.

However on the other it will not write the zero tolerance as 0.00 and leaves it as 0 whatever I do. Can anyone help? It is very fustrating!

(also on the drawing which is not functioning properly one of my dimensions itself will not include decimal places, perhaps this is for the same reason?)

Thanks in advance.

Try this (in the drawing)

Tools > Options > Document Properties

Under Detailing, set the Trailing Zeroes drop down to "show"

Great - that is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
