Suppress Zeros in Dimensions
You can suppress leading and trailing zeros in the numeric portion of
dimension text. You can also specify the sub unit for the dimension distance.
If you suppress leading zeros in decimal dimensions, 0.500 becomes .500. If
you suppress trailing zeros, 0.500 becomes 0.5. You can suppress both leading
and trailing zeros so that 0.5000 becomes .5 and 0.0000 becomes 0.
For dimension distances less than one unit, you can set the dimension distance
to display in sub units. If the distance is shown in m, you can set to display
distances less than one m in cm or mm.
The table shows the effect of selecting each option and provides examples of
the architectural units style. If feet are included with a fractional inch, the
number of inches is indicated as zero, no matter which option you select.
Thus, the dimension 4'-3/4" becomes 4'-0 3/4".
