Round Off Dimension Values
You can round off all dimension values except those for angular dimensions.
For example, if you specify a round-off value of 0.25, all distances are
rounded to the nearest 0.25 unit. The number of digits displayed after the
decimal point depends on the precision set for primary and alternate units
and lateral tolerance values.
To round off dimension values
1 From the Dimension menu, choose Style.
2 In the Dimension Style Manager, select the style you wish to change and
choose Modify.
3 In Modify Dimension Style dialog box, Primary Units tab, under Linear
Dimensions, enter the round-off value.
4 Choose OK to exit.
5 Choose Close to exit the Dimension Style Manager.

Suppress Zeros in Dimensions
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.
