I'm defining global variables and they all seem to evaluate to 6 digits. For example, X = 137.4035 evaluates to 137.404. I'm using the value in a table on the drawing, and I need to show 4 significant digits. Any idea on how I can change it to show more digits.

Note that in the equation manager it does says "Evaluates to 137.403500" but in the feature tree under equation it is listed as 137.404; and this is what I get on the drawing when I link the table value to a property defined by this variable.

Have you tried changing the decimal place setting in the drawing document properties?
