Edrawings measuring precision

Edrawings measuring precision

(OP)
I'm using eDrawings '07 Pro. When using the measure tool, I know there is a way to change units but is there a way to change the decimal place precision?

RE: Edrawings measuring precision

Have you tried saving an eDrawing out with differing drawing/assembly/part precision set within the SW files?  I wonder if it just assumes whatever was used withing the SW files.

That was my first thought, however, if I open the .sldprt in solidworks, the decimal may be carried out 3 places. Example 1.909 and 1.000 and 1.640. Then when I open the .eprt file in edrawings they display as 1.91 and 1 and 1.64.

You should ask your VAR maybe they'd know?

Or if that fails your CAD "Administrator" would know for sure....
