Decimal places in the distance command

Decimal places in the distance command

Decimal places in the distance command

(OP)
Is there any way of changing the ammount of decimal places in the distance command display, I have a user here at JCB who has no decimal places after the main measurement so he's getting for example 300mm instead of 300.1824  I have attached an image so you can see what I'm on about

Many thanks

Simon.

RE: Decimal places in the distance command

Good question, but if I need more accuracy, I use the information icon.  More decimal pts than I'll ever use.

RE: Decimal places in the distance command

Check out:

Preferences -> User Interface... -> General Tab
Dialog Box Decimal Places

Change that to the number you want.

Good luck!
