Family Tables In Drawings Question

Family Tables In Drawings Question

Family Tables In Drawings Question

(OP)
I have a part that has a family table that contains 3-decimal place dimensions and 4-decimal place dimensions.  When the family table was brought into the drawing, the 3-decimal dimensions stayed "as-is"; however, the 4-decimal place dimensions were rounded up to 3-decimal places.  Now, every dimension shown in the drawing table is 3-decimal places.  Is there a setting within config.pro or drawing setup files that controls this?

The part family table still shows the correct decimal places.

Thanks for the help.

RE: Family Tables In Drawings Question

This is controled by drwaing set up file.

set the "model_digits_in_region" as "yes" so that the model decimal places reflects in the family table.

thanks

Thanks, that worked but I noticed something else.  In the model family table, for example, we would have a dimension as 4.000.  When this dimension is brought into the drawing, the 0's are removed and the dimension is 4.  Also, if the model dimension is 2.750, the same dimension in the drawing is 2.75.

Is there anyway to have the trailing 0's show up in the table on the drawing?

RE: Family Tables In Drawings Question

Set the option "lead_trial_zeros" as "std_english" in the drawing set up file then trialing zeros will be seen.

Thanks
