Unit Precision

[happyunited]

When I go in to edit attributes the precision is always miles big even if the precision in units is set low.

 

Can I change this?

Yes you can change this with command DDUNITS. Type at command line or drop menu Tools-->units.

When you change the units precision this is globally for that drawing.

From AutoCAD help file.

Understand Rounding and Precision

When you specify the display precision of units, the values for coordinates and distances are rounded off. However, the internal precision of coordinates and distances is always maintained regardless of the display precision.

For example, if you set the display precision of decimal-format units to 1 (or 0.0), the display of coordinates is rounded to one place after the decimal point. Thus, the coordinates 0.000,1.375 are displayed as 0.0,1.4, but the internal precision is still maintained."

 

Hope this helps..
