I need 3 decimal places on drawing

While googling this issue I keep finding this reference:

(The small toolbar at the bottom of the drawings screen has an icon Annotation Setting, there's an option for precision there.)  The problem is in my drawing workspace there are only 3 icons (Pan, Zoom, and Fit).   It shouldn't make a difference but, I recently repartitioned and loaded a fresh copy of Win10 and Fusion but since I rarely use drawings I'm not sure the missing icon was ever there.

You are looking at an old tutorial, they moved the 2D drawing Document settings.

Thanks for the reply.  I know it is the day after Thanksgiving and the employees with the least seniority are stuck working:  With that said, I started a chat in Fusion and was given an old video from Tyler Beck as a solution.

 

Thanks Again.

Hi, I'm a fairly new user and am having the same problem. Changed the Document settings per your instructions, but the drawing still shows only the number of decimal places required to express the dimension value (displays .5 instead of .500). So I double click the dimension and get a dialog box allowing me to choose how many decimal places are displayed, but when I click <Close> I still have only one place decimal place shown.  Interestingly enough, it worked correctly yesterday.  I had to re-enter my username and password today when I started F360. Did they just introduce a new version - or am I accidentally doing something differently?

If you want a three place decimal all the time, you have to turn on "Display Trailing Zeros"in the drawing document settings.  Document settings are at the top of the 2D drawing Browser.

Hi JHackney,

Thanks so much for the quick response. I'm back in the saddle again! That
solved the issue, but I couldn't find my original question on the forum so I
could check it as solved. I've seen your helpful posts on issues (much more
complex than mine) a million times on the Fusion forum.

So good of you to take the time to help others!
