Trailing zeros

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!

It's also extremely common.

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