number of decimal places in family table

number of decimal places in family table

number of decimal places in family table

(OP)
We use the same bore feature in a family table with a datum attached to the dimension.  In one instance we want to show the number of decimal places at 2 and in another instance we want to show the number of decimal places at 4.  The reason we want to do this is because one bore is a critical size and the other is not.  All of these instances start from the same raw forging so we want to keep the family table  relationships.

RE: number of decimal places in family table

In the instance click the bore dia dim ---->properties change the decimal places.(wht i hv understand from your question)

RE: number of decimal places in family table

Are you using Wildfire 3?

I don't have it on this computer but if I remember correctly, you can include tolerances in a family table in that version. While it won't help with your # digits, perhaps you can achieve the same goal by loosening up the tolerances for the bore that isn't critical (i.e. 4 DPs with a large tolerance).. This might make the people who enforce your drawing standards nervous, though.

RE: number of decimal places in family table

(OP)
justkeepgiviner, you are 100% corret.  We had different tolerances in the family table, but the people who enforce our standards don't like the look of it.  I wish we used metric and could drop trailing zeros.  That would solve our problem.
