#454 Precision does not set trailing zeros in dimensions
Even though precision is set to say 0.0000 in the document preferences, dimensions are truncated without trailing zeros. If I have a dimension of 0.050, librecad changes it to 0.05.
This is important because often the trailing zeros imply a tolerance. 0.500 is not the same as 0.5 to many engineers and machinists.
The best solution would be to allow trailing zero precision to be overriden on a per-dimension basis with a global default. This would accommodate the practice of using trailing zeros exclusively to imply tolerances, common in some shops.
But as a quick fix, just displaying dimensions using the document wide default precision would be better than what we have now.
This seems to be a bug.
