Trailing Zero in Exported Parameter with Fractional-Feet Format

[wimann]

Hello everyone,

I've got a quick one for you guys. So I've started utilizing parts with exported parameters more frequently at work. It works great but there is one thing I would need to change that pretty well perfect it.

Say I have a part which is 40 feet long. If I were to call this out in my drawing (using a leader text for example), my company standard would have it say "<description> x 40'-0" LG <description>". However, if I export the parameter and use it in the leader text, the result I get is "<description> x 40' LG <description>". I know that they provide the same information but the less "different" something I'm trying to integrate into our normal practices is, the better.

The obvious benefit is not having a leader text call out something in text, but rather to have it reflect the actual dimensions in the part file. I'm just wondering if there is a way to get that format specifically. The way I'm used to formatting them in the part file parameters dailog is as shown below:

And as you can see, "Trailing Zeros" cannot be applied to this parameter.

Any thoughts?

On you leader text, did you try right clicking and selecting "Edit Unit Attributes..."?

Just gave it a try. Didn't seem to change anything in the leader. Could this potentially be because the leader contains more than one parameter from the part file?

I've found, in the meantime, that I can work around this issue but having my feet and inches exported seperately. Though I still feel this is a bit clunky. It does get the job done.
