eagriego Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 My professor wants all of our dimensions to have 2 decimals places except for a few that he wants to have 3 decimal places. How do I change those few to have 3 places while everything else has 2? Quote
JD Mather Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Type dimstyle and look around. I show my students how to create a Template with all the dimension styles they will need pre-set. You can also right click on a dimension after creation and set Precision. If you use the second method you can use the Match Properties to avoid having to individually set precisions - just set one dimension for each different precision and then Match Properties after dimensioning all the rest. Attach your file here if you can't figure it out. Whatever you do - don't turn in any drawing with the AutoCAD default 4 decimal places unless the feature a very tight (read expensive) tolerance. In my experience most machinist cannot even measure reliably to 4 dec (inch) or 3 dec (mm) places. Quote
