Offset Dtm Pln dimension display

[qnen]

Yet another annoying WF5 question, hopefully this time I have something set wrong.

When my users are creating an offset datum plane, and the offset is about .75, WF5 keeps displaying the value as 1.0. If they measure the distance between the planes, it is in fact .75. However, clicking edit definition, click on the plane, the offset value is displayed as 1. It appears as though WF5 is rounding off to 0 places.

What have I set up wrong?

thanks

We have two seats installed and my machine displays correctly but my co-workers does what you are describing. Please post if you find any answers as we have not been able to find anything.

Michael,

The dimension most likely have the following option checked off in Dimension Properties.
[√] Rounded Dimension Value
yeah I used a square root (sqrt) symbol but it looks like a check mark <[see image below.]

Uncheck the box and you should get your def_decimal_places back. It seems when the rounded value box is checked it goes to 0dec places which is likely the result of an angle being changed to 0 dec places and it defaults to last dec places value that was used.

Or you can just enter a value other than 0 in the decimal places box.
