origin precision for ordinate dimensioning

[reo682]

Hello,

When we use ordinate dimensioning in Autodesk inventor, it will create origin with two decimal precision (based on default dimension precision in the drawing template, which is 2 in my case) - (.00, .00)
As far as I remember, solidworks used to create origin without any precision (0,0), irrespective of default dimension precision.

My opinion is origin shouldn't have any precision - its the origin.

I was just wondering, which is correct method - any reference in ASME standard?

thanks,
pavv

Zero = zero.

I always remove all decimals and make the zero digit big and bold.

Could we drop trailing zeros altogether?

ISO does.

ASME Y14.5 requires they be dropped from metric dimensions. This requires you to systematically tolerance everything, but I find this to not be a problem.
