Wildfire 3.0 Drawing mode: decimal place display
Wildfire 3.0 Drawing mode: decimal place display
(OP)
I am making my first drawing on a new platform (HP nw8440 laptop I believe) and am having issues with display of dimension digits after the decimal: they show up with the minimum number of digits entered (apparently), and do not correspond to the number in the dimension --> properties --> number of digits box.
I have already tried specifying these config options and re-starting ProE:
default_dec_places 3
default_dim_num_digits_changes no
with no effect.
I'd appreciate any help.
Let me know if this is a repeat thread; I tried searching first but for some reason that wasn't working either. Guess it's not my day :)

Controls the display of leading and trailing zeros in dimensions.
Default and Available Settings
std_default*—Displays only trailing zeros. No leading zeros are displayed.
std_metric—Displays only leading zeros. Trailing zeros are not displayed.
std_english—Displays only trailing zeros. Leading zeros are not displayed.
both—Both leading and trailing zeros are displayed.
Note:
If the lead_trail_zeros_scope drawing setup option is set to all, the lead_trail_zeros drawing setup file option controls the display of leading and trailing zeros in dimensions, hole parameters within hole notes, and all floating point parameters on a drawing, including parametric notes, view scale notes, tables, symbols, and cosmetic thread notes.
In case of dual dimensioning, the lead_trail_zeros drawing setup file option controls the use of leading and trailing zeros in both std_english and std_metric standards independently.
If the units in the dual_dimensioning drawing setup file option are primary[secondary], std_english[std_metric] shows the primary units values with trailing zeros, while the secondary units show values with leading zeros.
If the units in the dual_dimensioning drawing setup file option are secondary[primary], std_english [std_metric] secondary units show values with trailing zeros, while the primary units show values with leading zeros.
Hole parameters within the hole notes appear with 3 decimals, regardless of the value set for the default_dec_places configuration option. If you want to change the number of decimal places for the hole parameter, type [.n] after the parameter in the Text tab of the Note Properties dialog box. Here, n is the number of decimal places. You can edit the hole parameter values only through the Note Properties dialog box that opens when you select the hole note and click Edit > Value. Alternatively, to edit hole parameter values through the Note Properties dialog box, select the hole note, right-click, and click Edit Value on the shortcut menu.
