The top, front, and side views of the model each have a pair of Rulers that show the coordinates of the model. If the numbers to be displayed on these Rulers become too large or too small, numbers might not be displayed with enough precision. The Ruler Format dialog box can be used to change the way numbers are displayed on the Rulers. To display the Ruler Format dialog box, either double-click on a Ruler or select Customize|Ruler Format… To change the way the numbers on a particular Ruler are displayed, change to the tab for that Ruler and change the precision and decimals in the edit box. To see what effect this will have, type a number in the Sample number edit box and see how it is displayed in the preview area.

It is also possible to change the spacing between tick marks (in pixels) by changing the Desired tick spacing. This value will act as a starting point in determining the increment between adjacent tick marks.
