Point Table - How do I display 3 decimal places?

[kiarianc]

I'm experimenting with Civil 3D, just trying to go through Point Styles/Groups/Descriptions etc. I've just produced a Point Table which looks good, but I cannot find the setting to change it from two to three decimal places.
I've gone into Settings>Table Styles,  Prospector>Point Groups and nothing. The easting and northings show up in the Point Groups with the 3 decimal places, but with just the two on the Point Table. Any advice?

Sekect Table > Right Click edit Style

Data Properties and Click easting

Select the precision from the Drop Down and click the right pointing arrow to transfer to preview pane

Repeat

Try this:

1. Go to the toolspace
2. Settings Tab
3. If the dropdown is set to "Master View", find the drawing on which you want to operate.
4. Navigate to Point > Table Styles > name of style you want to edit
5. Right-click on that style name, choose Edit
6. Go to the Data Properties tab
7. In the Northing column, double-click on the Column Value field
8. The Text Component Editor dialog will open
9. Select the text in the preview window by clicking on it.
10. This will show you the current properties of this text on the left hand side of the dialog.
11. Change the precision to the desired setting
12. DO NOT CLICK "OK" YET.
13. After you have changed the precision, click the --> (arrow) to "push" this new setting into the preview window.
14. Now click OK
15. Repeat the same steps for the Easting.
16. When you're all done the table will update (presuming you were editing the style assigned to your existing table)

@Anonymous @rkmcswain @neilyj666  Thanks. It was driving me mad. Is there anyway to have this set as a default to 3 decimal places? I've never worked anywhere before where they require just the two!
I suppose the Table Styles are set up by the user in thinking about it. So, maybe I just need to check in future.

Much appreciated.

Yes you can make it default but to do this you need to change the relvant Styles in your template as it is a drawing specific setting or you can copy the style from the current drawing and overwrite the one in your template
