How can I show trailing zeros in drafting by default?
How can I show trailing zeros in drafting by default?
(OP)
My current workflow:
-design a part in model space
-Ctrl + Shift + D
-New Sheet
-Standard Size (no template)
-Copy Paste Title Block from another file.
This works well enough for me. I have spent hours trying to figure out Templates and Titleblocks, and it is simply not worth my time. My question is, how can I set NX to always show trailing zeros when I create dimensions. I have tried Customer Defaults, and restarting NX, but it doesn't stick.
Bonus Question: How can I change the default font for dimensions, notes and labels to "Blue Highway"
Thank you
Chris

Of course, you can combine the best of both suggestions: open the template, use "load drafting standard" to update your settings, save and close the file. New files will now have the same settings from the drafting standard that you loaded into the template.

It may be of use to explain what's what and how they work.

Metric dimensions do not show trailing zeros.
English dimensions do not show leading zeros.
If you want the trailing zeros to show tolerance, x.xx is +/-.01, that only is valid with english dimensions.
