Is there a way to increase the precision / decimal place of the system?  Its default right now is 0.000 and I would like to get it to at least four places (0.0000).

RE: Unit precision

Hi careyc,
Be aware that this setting is for DATA READOUT ONLY.
It's NOT a working accuracy that your input will be rounded to, so make sure that any dimensional constraints you put in are the exact values you require.
Many times I've seen users frustrated that their models will not mate together, only to find that the actual dimension is not what they thought it was.
