Changing linear tolerance displayed in drawings? 1

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?
 
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.
