metric dimension following zeros

metric dimension following zeros

metric dimension following zeros

(OP)
In Pro/E 200i I am dimensioning in metric. I have the number of digits set to 2. If I have a number like 27.00 it displays as 27. How can I get it to display with the following zeros?

RE: metric dimension following zeros

You must set the config.pro settings to the following:
*********************************************************
config.pro "lead_trail_zeros"
*std_default, std_metric, std_english, both

Controls display of leading and trail zeros in dimensions. Can also control display of leading and trail zeros in parameters, depending on the setting of the drawing setup file option lead_trail_zeros_scope.

If lead_trail_zeros_scope is set to all, controls the display of leading and trail zeros for dimensions and also for all floating point parameters on a drawing, including parametric notes, view scale notes, tables, symbols, and cosmetic thread notes.

When dual dimensioning is used, controls the use of leading and trailing zeros in both 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.

If set to std_default, displays the dimension or parameter according to its units.

If set to both, displays both leading and trailing zeros in dimensions or parameters, regardless of whether metric or English units are used.
