Structural dimensioning

[ajones.119701]

When I have a dimension that should read "16'-0½" Inventor shows it as "16'-½". It drops the zero. This is not standard in the structural industry. Is there a setting or workaround to get Inventor to show dimensions the way I want them?

maybe you tryed this already but, I would just edit the text.

In a perfect world that would work, but when the part is changed, the edited dimensions don't always get checked.
I know, I know, but one of our drafting managers actually told one of our contract shops, "We don't have the time or the people to check our drawings!"
I know it's stupid, but I'm just the guy who gets yelled at when my supervisor screws up and issues an unchecked drawing.

I don't know much about inventor but it sounds like there's a dimension variable somewhere supressing the zero.

I think it's in 'format styles' 'dimension' then whatever your default dimension style is. The 1st tab has a setting for turning leading zeros on & off.
