Round Off Dimension Values
You can round off the numeric values in dimensions and lateral tolerances.
You can round off all dimension values except those for angular dimensions.
For example, if you specify a round-off value of 0.25, all distances are rounded
to the nearest 0.25 unit. The number of digits displayed after the decimal
point depends on the precision set for primary and alternate units and lateral
tolerance values.
Suppress Zeros in Dimensions
You can suppress leading and trailing zeros in the numeric portion of
dimension text. You can also specify the sub unit for the dimension distance.
If you suppress leading zeros in decimal dimensions, 0.500 becomes .500. If
you suppress trailing zeros, 0.500 becomes 0.5. You can suppress both leading
and trailing zeros so that 0.5000 becomes .5 and 0.0000 becomes 0.
For dimension distances less than one unit, you can set the dimension distance
to display in sub units. If the distance is shown in m, you can set to display
distances less than one m in cm or mm.
The table shows the effect of selecting each option and provides examples of
the architectural units style. If feet are included with a fractional inch, the
