Set display precision shown in Properties Manager

[tim_newsome]

Properties Manager text height is only showing to the tenth. How can I get that field to show to the thousandth?

Units command will control this.

No thats just drawing units

I tested it to be sure since it seemed sketchy to me, but there's a precision section in the units panel that impacts the properties panel. Changing that value changed the precision in my properties panel.

Try it out, it works on my end.

Where is the units panel?

[Tom Beauford]

Enter UNITS at the command line.

Guys, there is a system variable that I was told about right here on Augi that chaged that. I have searched all the forums I use on Augi and can not find it. There is no way to change the number of decimal places shown in my properties manager through tht drawing units dialogue.

What is the system variable please. Tom you hit my questions on the head 90% of the time so I am wondering if you caught the tail end of this. In fact it may have even been you who who gave me the correct way to correct this the first time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll see if I can find a system variable, but this does work.

Ok well I thought I'd be digging on this for a while, but after a quick google I believe the system variable you are talking about is LUPREC. Incidentally it appears to be adjusting the precision in the same manner that the UNITS does. Change the value of LUPREC and it adjusts precision under UNITS as well. I suppose knowing the system variable would be helpful for coding purposes, but otherwise accomplish the same thing.
