Deleting Trailing Zeros in Dims

Save your hair pulling.

Metric dimensions don't have trailing zeros by design because ASME Y14.5 specifically says that trailing zeros are NOT allowed in metric drawings. Their a couple of settings that affect this in config.pro and your .dtl file. tolerance_standard ANSI

lead_trail_zeros STD_METRIC

lead_trail_zeros_scope DIMS

There may be others, but these 3 stick out.

We had trailing zeros used as decimal place holders for metric drawings when I started where I work 11 years ago. I immediately, as new system admin for UG, turned them off, since the standard we said the drawing conformed to didn't allow them. I got dragged into a meeting with engineering management and manufacturing engineering, I worked for IT then, where it was resolved that we would follow the standards. If the designer needed a tighter tolerance thane +/-1.5 on a 400 dimension, they would have to explicitly call it out.

Thank You....

Once I knew which parameter needed to be changed, I figured it right out.

I understand what you are say about no trailing zeros in Y14.5. It just goes against my nature. The number of decmial places indicates a level of accuracy in my mind.

We tolerance each dimension separately, default tolerances are not allowed. Trailing zero's are not necessary.

That is true in inch dimensioned drawings.

If your title block says that the drawing conforms to ASME Y14.5, then you cannot use trailing zeros if the dimensioning is in metric.

Metric dimensions use a leading zero, if the value is less than 1 and inch dimensions don't.
