This is one of the most long lasting bugs in VW. There is a pertinacious refusal to acknowledge the problems it causes us. On anything outside the American Unit's system.
We international users need different units and control on the precision of any number displaying on drawing.
Dimensions and Chain Dimensions use the Unit's dimensions' settings.
While any other object uses Document's settings.
Even data tags, where the user can shape up nearly any kind of dimension-like object, disable the settings for non-dimensions parameters: one cannot correct the precision of a real number nor the thousand separators.
We need this limit to be resolved, it ruins our drawings, it coerces to endless workarounds.
Expected:
Document settings: for the Object Info palette, floating data bar, etc.
Dimensions settings: for any dimension-like object
Data Tags: free to use user-defined units/precision/thousand separators on any number (real or even integer, to allow alignments etc.), unregarded the original formatting
Just like we'd do in a worksheet cell.
PS: I filed this now again as bug report. Did that already in the past. To no avail.
In the screenshot a few examples in red of number going out of control when we need high precision.
A realistic working environment: units meters with 3 decimals precision.
