Vary decimal places in Properties window

[ST_1234]

What is the variable that gives this readout?

The line I have selected has its start x and y co-ordinates coinciding with a whole unit (mm BTW) and end co-ords on a fraction of a unit. AutoCAD rounds off the whole co-ords.

Thanks.

LUPREC, control the number of decimal places displayed

[ST_1234]

Thanks, but LUPREC only seems to affect the decimal places on the fractional co-ordinates. It doesn't affect the display of nodes on whole co-ordinate positions.

(To clarify - I find the readout as shown on my example useful, and I'd like to replicate it on other drawing files)

DIMZIN maybe?

Thanks rkmcswain, DIMZIN=8 is the setting I was after!

Keep in mind modifying dimension variables creates overrides to current dimension style. How important is it to show trailing zeros in your Properties Palette?

Thanks Tom, I have checked and this doesn't create a problem.

After modifying DIMZIN open the Dimension Style Manager, below the current style will be highlighted <style overrides> and below the Preview of: <style overrides> will be the Description including the current style+modifications.

Any dimensions drawn after modifying DIMZIN will include those style overrides until you try setting another style current. Then an alert box lets you know "Setting another style current will discard your style overrides." and ask if you want to Continue?

If that's not an issue at your workplace fine, just wanted to make sure you were aware. Some organizations do not allow Dimension Style overrides, though I'll override the descriptions in the Properties Palette from time to time.
