I'm trying to clean up some hand-me-down drawings and I found the decimal places in the dimension text are wrong on one of the drawings. I went into the Dimension Style Manager and clicked on Modify and then Primary Units. The Round Off is set to 0.000 and I want to add a 0 but it won't keep the 0 (it is rounding a dimension that should not be rounded). I also want to change the scale factor from 0.000 to 0.0000 but it won't keep the 4th 0 either. I thought perhaps I needed to change the tolerances. I clicked on the Tolerances tab and found the Tolerance Format Precision set to 4 decimal places and everything else set to 3. The problem is that nothing here is selectable except Method and Vertical Position.

Can anyone help me figure this out :huh:

To be honest, I'm not sure I'm even barking up the right tree with this. :oops:

Thanks
Dawn

I am not completely sure but you may also need to update the precision of your units setting under the Format pull down menu.

Hopefully this helps :)

Scott...you are brilliant :geek: That's exactly what I was missing. Once I changed the Precision of the Units in the Format drop down, everything automatically changed in the Dimension Style Manager.

Thanks for your help. :D
