Significant digits

dan_engerer

Hi everyone. I seem to be having trouble changing significant digits on drawing dimensions. The option is there, but when I try to increase, the dimension itself does not change at all. Perhaps a bug?

Are you changing the setting on the dimension itself or in the drawing options? If the dimension is not using the default drawing setting, then changing the drawing setting will have no effect. Either set the dimension to use the drawing default, or manually change the setting on the dimension itself.

This is what @mahir is talking about:

Hi all. Tried this. Adjusting the drawing's overall settings with the wrench seems to work for a few dimensions, but not the ones I want. It seems that Onshape is designed to not add a trailing decimal number if it does not actually change the number, i.e. adding another zero, but that's exactly what I am trying to get it to do.

If you look above, in the lower right of @john_mcclary's pic there is a setting for "Length trailing zeros". Make sure it is checked.
