How can I selectively set dimension precision?

[lemelman]

I have a drawing that contains some components made of wood and some of metal. I need to dimension the metal components to the nearest 0.1mm, but the wooden ones to the nearest 1mm. They need to be in the same drawing to show how they fit, but dimensions to 0.1mm in wood make no sense, so how can I do it please?

Hi @lemelman 

Set your document settings up to reflect the setting you require (for most of the dimensions), then edit the dimensions that need the additional decimal places.

Double-clicking on an individual dimension will allow you to set it's precision.

Thanks Clint, I knew how to set the precision for all the dimensions, but not how to choose individual ones. That's a real keeper.
