Hi again,

Just getting a bit fustrated because on my Solidworks drawings I can set the dimension precision to 2 significant figures but all that this does is round the numbers with more figures (ie 1.2345 becomes 1.23), it does not round the numbers with less figures (ie 1 does NOT become 1.00 as it should).

I have looked through all the help menus but to no avail - any suggestions?
