general table equations and decimal places 1

[adampunch]

I have a general table in a drawing, and one of the columns is populated by an equation in its cells. I want to show 3 decimal places in the value, which is important because it is a dimension of the part. I can set the decimal places to show when building the equation, but SW seems to chop off zeroes anyway, leaving me with some 3-place decimals and some 2-place. Any way to force SW to show these zeroes?

Actually, setting the precision on the equation seems to have no effect whatsoever on the returned value. I tried setting one of the 3-place values to 2-place with no result.

For the trailing zeros, try Tools > Options > Document Properties > Tables > General > Trailing Zeroes > Show

hmmmm, i already have trailing zeroes set to show.

Of course the best way for me to handle this issue is to set up a design table, but my company is a little hesitant to use them.

How do you show an equation in general table or BOM-table?
