Solidworks tolerances. 3

Hi, Im trying to put dimensions on a drawing, which all have to be to 1 decimal place, which is fine for the dimensions which are X.XX, but some of them are simply 100mm, how do I make that 100.0mm. If I try to change it on the dimension pannel to .1 or even .12345 ect, nothing happens it just stays at 100mm......any ideas?

Thanks

options -> document properties -> dimensions

choose your 'trailing zeroes' setting correctly...

Or show them as dual dimensions, or add a note that all dimensions are in mm.

pietje, I tried that and set it to .123 but it still wont do 'trailing zeros' when it is a whole number.

Adding a note is'nt an option either as this is how the client wants it done unfortunatly.

 

[pietje]

huh? did you set trailing zeros to 'show'?
or do you maybe mean an annotation that doesnt show its zeros? There is a setting for that too...
otherwise, im confused too.

If it is trailing zeroes that you are struggling with, Pietje is correct, there is a setting for that.

Tools->Options->Document Properties->Dimensions then toward the bottom there is a pull-down menu.

See attached image.

Play with that setting and see if it does what you want.
