When showing a dimension to two decimal places in my case, it doesn't show ".40". It shows ".4". How can i make the trailling zero show in the dimension?

Thanks in advance

After searching quite a bit around the properties, i managed to find the answer.

Under properties, value, in the bottom under description, we change from NUM,DIMM to mm
 
I'm guessing you're using the ISO drafting standard which is setup to drop the trailing zeros.

Another method to keep the zeros is to use FILE + PAGE SETUP to change the standard to ANSI or ASME.

But you may have to have your CATIA Administrator setup a new drafting standard based on what your company's standards.
 
Change the Dimension properties to NUM.DINC. This is inches and shows the trailing zeros. If you dont want to keep changing the Dimension Properties or want the mm to show the trailing zeros, then you have to modify the Drafting Standards. That requires starting CATIA in Admin mode. Let me know if you want to go that way.
