I can't update profile's elevation precision.

[Anonymous]

I've been trying for more than 4 hrs to change the precision of my existing
profile from 2 decimals to 3. I can update text size, vertical
exaggaretation, location of title view, etc, but not the precision of the
elevations. (I'm using the UKStandard view style, btw can sbd send me a
nicer metric profile and cross section view style?)
This 3d civil is way to different to my old and friendly civil design
software. The worst thing is that i'm trying to generate profiles (cl,
bottom and top of curbs, row), cross sections, etc. and use them in
microstation, so, i still have plenty of stuff to figurate out.

I assume that you are asking about EG profile elevation label precision. If
it is so - you can edit that label style and slecte the property field used
and change the precision in "Texy Component Editor" as you need and Hit ->
button to add the modified proprty into the label.

The OP references 'graph title' and 'vertical exaggeration'. that leads me to believe they're trying to change the precision of the vertical axis labels on a profile view style.

If so, you should find these by going to the Axis Annotation tab for the profile view style and towards the lower right hand side you'll see areas for the major and minor tick details. The buttons at the right ("A" with a pencil) will take you to the portion of the editor where you can change the precision of the elevation text that goes with these ticks. Be sure to press the blue --> arrow button to push your changes into the label after selecting the desired precision. Also, back at the Axis Annotation tab, be sure to select the other axis and change it's labels too.

looking for. I'm rushing to finish the dwgs. again, many thanks.

I'm having this same problem. Trouble is, every time I change the precision on the profile view axes, and hit apply, nothing changes. And if I exit the profile view style editor and reopen it, everything is as if I never changed it. I've deleted the contents in the text component editor, change the precision and reinserted the formula and still nothing changes!

I'm having the same problem!  nothing changes any of the precision, I've tried everything.  what a waste of time, why is this so difficult??

Please post an image of what you are wanting to change along with your dwg file.
