eagriego Posted January 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted January 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
