3 digits instead 2 digits

Post by paul_france »

Hello,

in the mesurement tools: is there a way to work with 3 digits instead of 2 digits, for a best accuracy?

see picture attachment

thanks

In the Properties pane of the Dimension Line, you have the option "Precision", below "Measure".

Set this option to 0,001

After applying this to one of your Dimension Lines, right-mouse-click on that line while it is still selected, and then in the menu click "Style Tools" > "Make current properties default".

From now on, every next line will have three digits.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Hello Willy,

thats not exactly what I need.

Even with 3 digits in the Precision of the Properties, I still have 2 digits in the scale.

is it possible to have?
3 digits in the Scale
2 digits in the precision

thanks a lot.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It seems like when changing the precision to three digits, the list at scaling also shows three digits, but unfortunately after making a choice there are still no more than 2 digits in the Scale.

I do not know if this is linked to the PDF-specifications, or if this is a malfunctioning.

I suppose this will be a question for Tracker Support, except if someone else has an answer to this.

Hi guys,

The measurement options in the list currently only show up to two decimal places to account for resized UI altering the dropdown size and such, despite properly recording the precision in the actual measurement data. This may change in the future, but it is, at the moment, a feature working as originally intended.

Kind regards,
