Who uses custom parameters in a partslist?

When I bring a CUSTOM Paramet into my partslist it shows with 3 decimals
behind the comma (see jpg).
I want f.e. 80 mm and not 80,000 mm in my partstlist.

Does anybody know how I can do this?

Thanks.

Christian

Set your dim style to use period instead of comma as decimal marker?

No that doesn't help. Dim style doesn't affect the partslist.

You need to open the part and go to Tools/Documents Settings and change
the number of decimal points there.

There's no option to set the display of the "trailing zero" off ??? Too bad.

Kathy, do you know which kind of things areaffected by changing the decimal
points in an ipt?
I see the decimals of the mass is also affected by this, but luckely the
dimensions not. Are there more things I should be aware off?

Yes you can suppress trailing zeros in your dimensions style, it is a
check box.

I was talking about custom parameters in the partslist.(they are not
affected by dimstyles)
See also first posting.

Can you RMB on the parameter and select "Edit Unit Attributes" and turn
off the trailing zeros? I know you can do that when using parameters in
a note.

No, that doesn't work either.
I don't understand that there isn't anybody who has no problems with this.
