Distance Tool - Displaying Trailing Zeros

[Craig D]

Can the distance tool (Dimension Line in Comment Styles Palette) be updated with a setting that will show trailing zeroes?

See below; a measurement that has 53.01m displays as such, yet if the measurement is 53m exactly, it displays as 53m - I want it to display as 53.00m.

Hi Craig,

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

If you like, you can use Mathew's javascript tool "Change Dimension Text":

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion Willy,
It is important to note that this tool will change the initial visual state of the measure, but if you adjust it later on in any PDF software, it may revert back to the original display values due to the "calculated display value" of the PDF Specifications measurement comments.

If you do make use of this tool, do be sure that you are certain you do not need to change the measurement in the future, or be aware if you need to, that you may need to re-use this tool after the fact.

Kind regards,

[Craig D]

Thanks all. Was hoping to achieve this within the software, rather than using an add on, as I have a large number of users and need to make deployment as simple as possible.

Would have been great to have this function, similar to AutoCAD, Excel etc; but if it's not possible, so be it.
