    Plant 3d 2013 Isometric set - cut length precision

    I've been trying to figure this out for hours, looking in the xml file and throughout all the project setup menus. Does anyone know where or how to change the precision for my cut length in the cut piece list? my project is in milimeters and it's giving me 6 decimal places.

     

    Also, is there a way to show metric and english units in the BOM for pipe? Just like when you are working in 3D and you click the toggle size display mode icon, so it shows you mm and inches?

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    search for similar text to below, I thnk the number after precision may be what your looking for

     

     

    <Style Name="Imperial" UnitFormat="Architectural" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
    <Style Name="ImperialSize" UnitFormat="Fractional" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="&quot;" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
    <Style Name="ImperialPipeLength" UnitFormat="Architectural" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
    <Style Name="Metric" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
    <Style Name="MetricSize" UnitFormat="Decimal" Precision="Precision1" Prefix="" Suffix="" Scale="1" Decimal="." />
