Hole Callout precision

Hole Callout precision

Hole Callout precision

(OP)
I am using a callout to specify the dimensions of a hole in SE draft using the predefined "hole reference" property text features in the callout dialog box. When doing so, the final callout always has .xxx precision on the dimensions it pulls from the model. Anyone know a way to change this precision on the callout to something else?

I have tried the property text method of changing precision of adding {/@0} or similar to the callout and it doesnt work in this application

RE: Hole Callout precision

You must change the "style" for the dimension.
In draft, click the view tab, then styles.
Select the dimension style you are using (ANSI, ISO, etc.)
The click modify.
Select the "units" tab, and then change the "round off" field from 3 places to whatever you want.
Just know, that all callouts will now default to 4 places.
I use smart dimension for many of my tighter tol "callouts" for this reason, and have my callouts set at three decimal places.
