What does E+04mm mean?

[WDE01]

Measurements longer than 10000mm have E+04mm in place of the last decimal place.

This shows up on every measuring / create / sketch tool....and it means i cannot measure anything to its last decimal over this length.

Why does it do it?

How do I fix it?

Cheers in advance.

This is scientific notation, used for large or small numbers.

You can change the value at which the display switches over to scientific notation, and the precision used for that, in the preferences dialog:

However, if you are using Fusion to design models significantly larger than 10,000mm, you might want to be careful.  At some size, Fusion will not behave very well.  I'm not certain exactly what that size is, but extremely large or small models will not work very well.
