Deleting Trailing Zeros in Dims

    I have been using Pro/E for about 12years, so I'm not exactly a newbie.
    That being said, I need some help. I usually work in English units, but one
    of my customers wants his drawings dual dimensioned with mm as primary. I
    constructed the models in mm. The problem is that when I show the dimensions
    in the drawing, all of the trailing zeros are deleted (in the metric
    dimensions only). I go into the properties for those dimensions and ask it
    to show two decimal places, and it has no effect (I have tried it as a
    global change also w/ no effect). I have spent hours looking thru the
    Drawing Setup & the Config.pro looking for some option that I might have set
    wrong, but have yet to find anything. I have been working in 2001 version,
    but have tried pulling it into Wildfire 2 with the same results.

    Does any one know what I am doing wrong. I'm pulling my hair out, and my
    customer is leaning on me hard to get these drawings finished. Thanks in
    advance...

    Thank You....

    Once I knew which parameter needed to be changed, I figured it right out.

    I understand what you are say about no trailing zeros in Y14.5. It just goes
    against my nature.
    The number of decmial places indicates a level of accuracy in my mind.

    We tolerance each dimension separately, default tolerances are not allowed.
    Trailing zero's are not necessary.
