basic Components report

Is there a way to fix the digits number in a basic Components report? AC put three digits and i need only two.
I checked for AC calc prefs, but this works only for a basic Elements report. Any idea?

Try setting the units in Options - Preferences - Calculation units and see if tha t works.

Ok, here are my settings, and the result (still on works).
Calc prefs work for Basic Elements report, but not for Components.

On the fly, does anyone know a way to get rid of the 0,000 unit?
I have to make the changes into a text editor, i would prefer to have a clean result directly in AC.

Strange, I get similar results in AC 9. This must be a bug.

I think I got it.

Did you set the database properly? (Calculate-Edit Database...)
Go to the Units key and set the decimals to 2 units

Hi Laszlo and Alexandre, thanks for answering.

My object is not linked to a database. It just has a Properties Script to generate the data, but no Components or Descriptor "scripts".
Karl showed me this way (Hi Karl ), and it is ok for me.

Alexandre, please, correct me if i am wrong, but it seems i have to link my object to a database,
to get access to these digits settings. Is there another way for my "basic" solution?
