Advanced Dimension Customization: Suppress only zero (.20) and choose decimal separator

luizdias

When working with dimensions at scales such as 1:50 or smaller, space efficiency in annotation is critical. Nowdays my archicad only allows the suppression of the leading zero together with the comma, resulting in values like 20 instead of ,20. This makes dimensions harder to read!!


In addition, there is no option to choose between dot (.) and comma (,) as the decimal separator. This limitation creates inconsistencies between projects, as many workflows (and other BIM software) already support this flexibility

I kindly ask that, as soon as possible (and if feasible), these features be added to Archicad in future releases:
1. Add an option to suppress only the leading zero, while keeping the decimal separator visible (,10 or .10). 

2. Allow users to select either comma or dot as the decimal separator directly in the Dimension Settings.

3. Make this preference storable in templates, ensuring consistency across teams and projects.

The decimal separator is an operating system setting, not an Archicad setting.
