Is there a cheat sheet anywhere that tells you where all the places are that you can effect how many decimal places are seen and where this effected?

I always run into issues in BOM's, Cut lists, Notes etc etc where either the number is rounded or out to 72 decimals places and then spend 20 minutes changing units in various places to try and change it.

As far as I know cut lists, BOM's, and Notes use the precision selected at Tools > Options > Document Properties > Units. I have occasionally had situations where this didn't work, and then I'd have to open the Part file and make sure it had the same settings. As I said, that's only happened occasionally, and all my Parts are set to decimal while my Drawings are set to fractions.

The lower right corner can edit the document units The Dimension propertymanager can over ride the document units And here's one that throws me every now and then. The Tools >Measure dialog can over ride dimensions.

Oh, yeah NOW I remember. I thought this seemed like a familiar problem and somehow due to the madness of it all I had forgotten.

For some unknown reason there is no direct way to change the number of decimal places for weight....so guess what, it's controlled by the number of decimal places for length....which makes complete sense....if you're solid works.
