AutoCad only lets me use two decimal places for Text Size

Hello, 

I am using annotative styles (Text, Dimension, Leader) and I need my text size to be 0.125. When I try to edit the text size within the Text Styles Dialog Box, it automatically changes my text size to 0.13. This is making my text size 0.01 points too big. For example, I applied a 1/2" = 1'-0" scale to my annotative styles, and my text size is 0.25. The accurate text size for this scale is 0.24. Small difference, but noticeable if you focus on it. Is there a way to make AutoCAD accept a 3 decimal place text size value and prevent it from automatically rounding up to two decimal places?

Change the units precision to the thousands decimal place.

Also via the LUPREC System Variable.

Thank you! Wasn't aware this command existed.

I've tried fixing the issue this way once before, and it didn't work for me. Might just need to try it again, as I might have done something wrong. The LUPREC command ended up working for me. Thank you!

Hi,

 

this IS Luprec, the GUI way to change luprec (and auprec! [F1]) variable.

So it was a mistake, it does the same.

 

Note: It doesn' t change anything, this setting is how numbers shows up in menus.
