Missing "+"

(OP)
When I specify a "0" for an upper or lower tolerance, Wildfire omits the sign in front of it. It will show a "+" or a "-" in front of the tolerance with a value other than "0". I want to see both signs. Is there some setting to change this?  Thanks.

RE: Missing "+"

The code is creating the dimensions per the ASME Y14.5 standard for metric dimensioned parts. 0 is zero, there is no + or - associated with it.

Reference figure 2.2 on page 24 of ASME Y14.5-1994 manual.
Also look at section 2.3 on page 24.

For imperial unit parts , then it should give the +0 or -0.

My "symmetric_tol_display_standard" is set to "std_asme". Is there another setting that I am missing? Thanks.
