Measurement (modeling) Trailing zero question-UG Nx7.5
Measurement (modeling) Trailing zero question-UG Nx7.5
(OP)
Is it possible to change the trailing numbers in measurement dimension to 0 (distance,length etc).Also is it possible to change the orienation of the displayed measurement?
we are using this for showing LxBxH of engines with various configuration and need to present with management.

Preferences -> User Interface -> General
...and change the number of decimal places shown for 'Dialog Box'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

But it won't allow me to use 0 as number of precision (we wanted a whole number without any decimals)
guess i have to happy with 1 decimal place :)

There is a checkbox named "Use System Precision in Information Window" in the preferences->userinterface->general tab, what does "system precision" means.

That being said, this is why there is an absolute limitation on the size of a model in NX which can be created and still be guaranteed to be accurate and that when used in a subsequent modling operation will result in a valid model. This is based on the model being contained within the volume of space defined by a cube whose center is at absolute 0,0,0 and which measures 1km (1,000 Meters) on a side.
Anyway, I hope this explains what these User Interface 'preferences' mean, which keep in mind, as indicated, these are 'User Interface' preferences which means that NO matter what values you enter into this dialog, it will have NO effect whatsoever of how the system is computing numerical results, but rather is only affecting how the system will be REPORTING these values to the user.
