Changing linear tolerance displayed in drawings?

Changing linear tolerance displayed in drawings?

Changing linear tolerance displayed in drawings?

(OP)
I am working on updating all of the pro/e 20 drawings in our company's database, and I need to change all of the tolerances.  The problem is I can't get the default system tolerances to be displayed with more than the default decimal places.  For example, the linear_tol_0_0 is set to 0.03 but it shows up as .1 when I put the parameter in a note.  Does anyone know what I can do?

RE: Changing linear tolerance displayed in drawings?

This could be because linear_tol_0_0 doesn't exist.  If I am interpreting this correctly, you are setting a value in the config.pro(or .sup) file.  That config option is linear_tol_0.0

or...this could be confusion about whether that parameter is indeed usable in a drawing - is it automatically converted and used as a model parameter?  There may need to be a relation set up (like using mass props calcs in drawings).

Also...setting a parameter is only going to affect drawings on a forward-going basis, unless you are willing to open each and every drawing file, apply the new config file, and save the changes.
