Different physical material properties.

On some parts when I go to iProperties/ Physical/ Material I get maybe 40 different options. On other parts I only get 14 options. How can I get all the options on all of my parts?

currently you are using local styles.. You should look into turning on/maintaining a single style library.

Thanks, sounds good, but I have it turned off because of a error message I get when opening my drawing template. So now you've given me another problem to chase down.

I'm betting the error is because the styles in the template don't match the style library..Which is to be expected till you fix that.

Yes, that's the problem. I need my dimensions to be set to inch, 4 decimal places. How do I fix this in the style library?

set use style library to yes..open your template..get everything the way you want it and save to style library.. save/close template.. Problem solved.

You can't just change stuff in the template and forget to also save to style library..
