Trailing zeros?

[davidinindy]

I'm working in WF2.0.
I brought up an old drawing to make a new version of this part.
I'm adding some holes, and dimensioned them in sketcher as 1.000 dia. on a 10.000 base circle.
the drawing has something set so that it doesn't show trailing zeros. These 3 plc. decimals really are required to convey how tight to hold the machining tolerances. I searched and can't find a setting or config. option to change this. I even have looked thru a couple of the lists of hidden configs I've downloaded.
This file may have been created a few years ago in 2001 originally, and brought into WF, if that makes a difference.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

I believe the config option is linear_tol_0.000 0.000

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Check the config options default_dec_places and sketcher_dec_places.

You can manually change it to 3dp by selecting the dimension(s), right clicking, hitting Properties, and then changing the "Number of Decimal Places" field to 3.

I have a few mapkeys on my system set up to do this automatically for 0 and 1 dec places. A quick way to do a whole sheet is to change the seletion filter (bottom right) to dimensions, selecting across the whole sheet, and then running the mapkey. Note: this will override the default settings above.

AFAIK the accuracy comes from the dimensions in the model, so it depends on the settings they had for the above config options at the time of model creation.

You are all barking up the wrong tree. It is not the number of decimals in the dimension, it is the drawing setting for lead_trail_zeros. In the .dtl settings change:

lead_trail_zeros STD_DEFAULT
lead_trail_zeros_scope ALL

dgallup... You are correct... I know how to change the decimal places...
I tried to type that in the properties and it doesn't show up as a valid config.

It's the dtl settings called "lead_trail_zero" and "lead_trial_zero_scope".

The control of trialing zeros (or not showing them) is often a result of ISO dimensioning schemes.
