Hello,

Best regards

David

Hi @daves67ABM 

 

Leading and Trailing Zeros are a Document Setting. Ideally, you would set this up in your drawing template file (.F2T), so that all future drawings use this setting.

This works for individual drawings, does not set as default.

 

Its bit annoying to set it per each drawing. In old version it was two clicks with minimal movement 🙂

Maybe add it in Drawing section of preferences in future version?

Hi @daves67ABM 

 

I understand your frustration with the change.

This setting is now configured in document settings, so for existing drawings, this is a few clicks to get to (as you have stated).

 

My suggestion is that you set up your leading and trailing zeros in your template file so that when you create a new drawing, this is already set up and there is no need to change the setting each time you create a drawing.
