Antsu Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I cant figure out how to remove decimals? In dimensions gives correct w/o any, but ie if draw pline it has 3 decimals. I using metric measures and dont need accuracy 1/1000 of a millimeter. How can I round those away? Probably some system variable if just could figure out which... Quote
Dana W Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Change the following precision levels, in the Dimension Style Manager, and the UNITS command. Image #3 shows the UNITS dialog box. Quote

The UNITS command controls the precision level of what shows by your cursor while you draw, and what shows when you use the measure set of commands to get a Distance Measurement. Quote
Dana W Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 You can also suppress leading and/or trailing zeros using the dimension style editor. If you make changes in the dimension style editor, MAKE A NEW STYLE WITH A NEW NAME. If you modify the STANDARD dimension style, or any other dimension style that already exists, when a dimension from your drawing is copied to another drawing, the changes you made will be lost to the receiving drawing, because the already existing dimension style in the receiving drawing will take precedence, and your duplicate definition will be ignored. For future reference, this also applies to BLOCKS. When you copy a dimension from a dimension style that does not already exist in another drawing, from your drawing, to that drawing, the new dimension style definition will also be copied along to the receiving drawing. In an office setting, the dimension style parameters and changes will be controlled by office standards. Quote
Antsu Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 Great tnx. I didnt have similar screens as running a architechtural addon on over the acad. units command did the trick. This addon heavyly modifies the way acad works. But now can atleast get to one millimeter precicion and not parts of it Cant exactly give ie carperter 0.001 mm tolerance on cutting wood Would be a laf......lets hope works now. I think that is solved now. I do have another Q though. Raster design runs on over acad, but this architechtural addon which running preceeds it and even though as start it shows the splash screen that loaded, but cant figure out how to get the menus...Or should I make a new thread for that Q?
