Dimension Decimal Places
Dimension Decimal Places
(OP)
I'm looking to change the displayed decimal places for dimensions whilst sketching etc in NX8. During my searches on this forum I know I can MB3 -> style for individual existing dimensions and I've gone in to File -> utilities -> customer defaults -> drafting but I'd like all existing and future sketches to display more than one decimal point as a default.
Thanks
Thanks





RE: Dimension Decimal Places
That being said, you can access this same Drafting dialog while in the Modeling Sketcher by going to...
Preferences -> Annotation...
However, once a dimension has been created, you will need to use the Edit -> Style function on each dimension (you can select multiple dimensions and edit them all at once) to change something like the number of decimal places.
Of course, if you're creating a Sketch on a Drawing or in a Drawing View, that you go to the same preference dialog you would use to change the settings for normal dimensions on a Drawing.

Is there anyway I can set this universally so that every new file has my dimension display preference?
