Drafting-Extra Zeros
Drafting-Extra Zeros
(OP)
Firstly, I apologise as I am sure this will have been covered before. But the search function is down at the moment.
I am in the drafting workbench; here is what I would like to do,
I want extra zeros to be displayed as defult. If a dimension is modeled as 3.41, then it will display 3.41. But if a dimension is 3, it will disply 3. I would like it to dislay 3.0, or even 3.00. I have admin access to Catia, and can edit my drafting standerds. But I cant find the option to activate this function.

You can right click on dimension, Properties-Value-Format-Precision
or
You can right click on dimension, Properties-More-Standards-More-ISO-DistanceLenghtDimension-MainValue-Precision
or by CATScript.

Fernando's threads tell you how to customize the drafting standard if you have administrative privileges.
If you don't have those privileges, an easy way to get those zeros displayed is go to FILE + PAGE SETUP and change the standard from ISO to ANSI.

Trailing zero's are not allowed on metric dimensions, if your drawings comply with ASME Y14.5m.

None of them work! I am beginning to think I have an instillation problem. I had real issues getting into admin mode for the first time; even the Catia support engineer could not work it out. It turned out it got sorted with a re-boot!
Right, I am defiantly in administration mode, I have tried these;
You can right click on dimension, Properties-Value-Format-Precision;
and it makes no difference, like wise;
You can right click on dimension, Properties-More-Standards-More-ISO-DistanceLenghtDimension-MainValue-Precision
I have also tried changing the sheet format to ANSI, both in admin mode, and in normal mode. Neither work.
