    Greetings:

    A family table of a shim has been created where the thickness and
    tolerances have 4 decimal places in the model.

    When detailing it with #table, #repeat region, #simple the values show
    leading zeros and with only 3 decimal places instead of 4. Could
    someone please remind me how to suppress the leading zeros and increase
    the precision from 3 to 4 decimal places?

    All dimensions are in inches.

    tolerance_standard = Ansi
    lead_trail_zeros = std_default
    lead_trail_zeros_scope = dims

    VALUES SHOWN IN TABLE | SHOULD BE SHOWN AS
    0.001 ± 0.000 | .0010 ± .0001
    0.003 ± 0.000 | .0030 ± .0003
    0.005 ± 0.001 | .0050 ± .0005
    0.010 ± 0.001 | .0100 ± .0010

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    0.010 ± 0.001 | .0100 ± .0010



    Try the following
    default_decimal_places=4 (in config.pro)
    lead_trail_zeros = std_english
    lead_trail_zeros_scope = all
    and leave tolerance_standard=ANSI

    Since drawing options are post facto and operate, generally, forward not backward, you'll probably have to delete and reinsert the table. You could save it first as a table file then recreate it 'From file'.

    David,

    Thanks for your suggestion and help.

    I just find out that for undknown reason the parameter
    model_digits_in_region has been set incorrectly to "no". After
    correcting the value to "yes" the table displays the values as I
    expected.

    Many thanks for your time and help.
