Option to Disable/Enable Leading zeros.

Option to Disable/Enable Leading zeros.

Aside from introducing confusion working with both metric and inch drawings it's also impossible to comply with ASME Y14.5-2009 if one is drawing with the Inch standard.

 

"

1.6.2 Decimal Inch Dimensioning
The following shall be observed where specifying
decimal inch dimensions on drawings:
(a) A zero is not used before the decimal point for values less than 1 in.
(b) A dimension is expressed to the same number of decimal places as its tolerance. Zeros are added to the right of the decimal point where necessary. See Fig. 1-5 and para. 2.3.2.

Looks like Autodesk has finally included this feature in the Sept 28 update....However something irks me...

 

"Under the Annotation Settings, you’re now also able to display/hide leading zeros. There’s really not a standard to conform to here, but general best practices suggest to use a leading zero if the decimal is less than 1 since the decimal may be hard to see at a glance for some. It’s really up to you and how you like to document your drawings, but here, you have the option, and this option can also be saved in your templates. "
