Increase precision of voloume measurement?

Increase precision of voloume measurement?

Increase precision of voloume measurement?

(OP)
My volume measurements are being displayed to a three place decimal precision, but I would like to increase it to 4 places.
How is this done?

Thanks,

RE: Increase precision of voloume measurement?


Tools -> Options -> Parameters and Measure -> Units

At the bottom of the dialog box, there is a whole section devoted to dimension display, for notation, trailing zeroes, and decimal precision.

Good luck.

Sorry.  That should have read:

Tools -> Options -> General -> Parameters and Measure -> Units

I believe your first post was correct?

However, I tried this and the volume precision still appears to be rounded to a three place decimal.

RE: Increase precision of voloume measurement?

(OP)
Sorry, I forgot to select volume from the list and change the precision.  

I was assuming that the precision was for all calculations.

Thanks for the help.

RE: Increase precision of voloume measurement?

It *is* supposed to be for all calculations. (that's why it's under the "general" tab)

Are you saying that you forgot to turn volume on in the analysis results dialog? (the box that says "customize")

(OP)
I don't have "->Parameters and Measure -> Units" located under "General"
 
These are the only options (Tabs) I have under -> Options -> General ->
help / sharable products / licensing / documant / macros / performance / printers / statistics.


-> Options -> General

I got it now!  Little slow today!

Thanks!
