Supress 0 (zero) decimals like supress 0 (zero) feet

Supress 0 (zero) decimals like supress 0 (zero) feet

Please add a 'Suppress 0 (zero) decimals in metric units' option/checkbox similar to 'Suppress 0 (zero) feet in imperial units'. This way we don't need to create 2 (similar) dimension styles: one displaying decimals, the other NOT displaying decimals. The only problem is we have to manually switch the dimension styles when moving elements and the decimals are needed to display (when not zero).

I know it is a very simple programming (IF > THEN type of thing), but i don't know how to do it.

Are you asking for something different than what the "Suppress trailing 0's" option does?

@dplumb_BWBR: You are right. I was actually trying to "round" the stubborn decimals like *.2 , *.7 or *.9 to *.0 or *.5 respectively. I hate when architects or MEP engineers are placing elements with such small imprecision and i don't want to waste my time moving objects like *.2 or *.3, etc. I found out i just have to choose Custom Rounding from the list and set rounding to .5.
