How to trail zeroes in drawing

How to trail zeroes in drawing

How to trail zeroes in drawing

(OP)
I have dimensions that I need to display with .0 but even setting the dimension to one decimal display it only displays it as an integer

I have tried to change the lead_trail_zeroes & the lead_trail_zeroes_scope to default and all but it has not fixed the problem (this was recomended in a previous thread)

Any idea why even changing these settings that the zeroes still will not display?

RE: How to trail zeroes in drawing

lead_trail_zeros STD_DEFAULT should do it.

RE: How to trail zeroes in drawing

If your default dimensioning is set to metric, you will not get trailing zeros.
Trailing zeros to show decimal places for a default tolerance are not allowed with ASME Y14.5M for metric dimensioning.

After setting lead_trail_zeros to std_default, did you create a new dimension? I don't tink changing that setting will change existing dimensions.

There is a possibility the sheet format I have is fixed to the ASME standard. I have tried all default and all on the settings but never did any good.
