Dimension precision in Layout

Anonymous
Not applicable
My layouts are showing different dimension precision than the model. And I could not find any settings anywhere to fix it.

Example: The dimension precision is set from the Options > Project Preferences > Dimension as 1/2. Model is showing the dimension perfectly, but my layouts are showing 1/16 values.

Any clue about how to solve this trouble?
Thanks in advance.

Try re-saving the view after you the dimension tolerance set as you want it.

You mean deleting the layout sheet and creating it again, right? That won't be of much difficulty. I'll try it.
Thank you so much for your reply.

No, Erika was referring to the VIEW.
In fact, if you switch the Navigator to "View Map", select your "wrong" View and click the Setting button, you can find the 2D/3D Document panel. Here is a pop up for the Dimension setting. You will see "Personal" if the Dimension style was not saved.

Umm no, deleting and creating does not help.

(Before recreating the dimension precision was set to 1/2, but after creating the layout it again shows 1/16 precision in dimensions)

Great. I'll try this now. Thanks you so much.

Fantastic! It worked! Yay! Thank you so much.
I was struggling with this from last couple of days.

What I did: Saved the custom dimension settings of the view maps as a new favorite, and set it as the default dimension settings for all drawings. Done
