Hello

I have an issue here that drives me insane:
I am in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended adding 3D measuremnts. I have mm as my model units. So when I measure my CAD model in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended I get for example:

900.0 mm

My question: Is there any way to omit the "mm" and change the precision to well, just nothing after the dot? I desperatelly need just a simple:

900

Thanks for any help!
Tony

Afraid not. The automatically-placed text labels in 3D measurements aren't accessible as comments, so you can't manually edit the value (intentionally so, as we need measurements to be trustworthy even if someone else added them). You can add more text, or convert the object into an entry in the PDF's comments list so you can show who added it, but you still can't edit it.

Of course if you place the PMI data in the CAD file itself, you can make it say whatever you want it to.

Well, I don't really want to change the value but I need to change the precision after the decimal place from for example 900.0 to 900. I simply don't need the decimal precision and it clutters up the PDF drawing. And so do the units. I mention the units on the PDF and having the units with every measurement looks very unprofessional. So what do I do? My Cad program would not export the measurements since they are not geometry....
Thanks for your help!
