measure precision 1

[carlharr]

Hello, does anyone know how to alter the precision of displayed measurements (in modelling) in NX7.5, for example changing 75.3mm to show 75.312mm etc.?

Thanks in advance,
Carl

Just for the record, this setting has no effect whatsoever on the 'precision' of a measurement, only of the number of decimals places that are displayed. The internal value computed remains unchanged irrespective of this setting. Granted, it does control what portion of the result will be displayed and therefore does impact the effect of rounding since you've indicated the significant values that you're looking for. So, if 'rounding' is a concern to you, you should set the decimal place option to ONE MORE than you absolutely need so that you will always be comfortable with the numbers that you're using.
