general table equations and decimal places
i have a general table in a drawing, and one of the columns is populated by an equation in its cells.  i want to show 3 decimal places in the value, which is important because it is a dimension of the part.  i can set the decimal places to show when building the equation, but sw seems to chop off zeroes anyway, leaving me with some 3-place decimals and some 2-place.  any way to force sw to show these zeroes?

actually, setting the precision on the equation seems to have no effect whatsoever on the returned value.  i tried setting one of the 3-place values to 2-place with no result.

for the trailing zeros, try tools > options > document properties > tables > general > trailing zeroes > show
hmmmm, i already have trailing zeroes set to show.
of course the best way for me to handle this issue is to set up a design table, but my company is a little hesitant to use them.

how do you show an equation in general table or bom-table?
