Trailing zeros

Jun 16, 2008 7 Replies

I know i'm probably being dim today but.......



I would like to dimension a drawing using a tolerance table in the title block as follows:



No Decimal Places +/- 1



1 Decimal Place +/- 0.5
2 Decimal Places +/- 0.1
3 Decimal Places +/- 0.01

The thing I need to do is be able to force individual dimensions to have different numbers of trailing zeros



How do I do this



Thanks,



Kev

Cliff,

According to ASME Y14.5M-1994, 1.0 is the same as 1.00 is the same as

1.000, 1.0000, 1.000000000000000000000000000000 etc. The nominal is unchanged. I'm not entirely sure what the criticism is here.

I agree Cliff - but it's a new client and it's the way they do it!

Thanks All,

I was being dim - all comes flooding back now.

Cheers,

Kev

It's also extremely common.

It also saves from having to put tolerances on every dim stated.
