Decimal Places in Property Dialog Box

[naveb]

Looking for a way to change the precision in the properties dialog box. To be more specific, When I select an item (such as a line) in the drawing window, the properties window shows the information, but shows the length of the line as 8.0 instead of 8.333. I tried changing Units, but that appears not to be the answer I'm looking for.

units or -dwgunits which offers more choices but watch the prompts on the command line as it is not a dialogue command

Thanks for replying steven-g, I guess I should have been a little more specific. I want the precision to be to, at least 2 decimal places, when i select a subassembly.

If I understand your question, you want to change the precision of a value in the Properties window. Unfortunately, the units setting is global, that is, you can't change one type of thing, you have to change everything.

 

It's possible that you've overlooked the Precision setting, which is underneath the Units setting. Precision is what controls the number of decimal places. If that doesn't take care of your issue, give us more information.
