Dimension precision - trailing zeros

Ala
Is it possible to fix the precision of a dimension?

I have found that in Drawing Preferences there is a Units tab. Under that tab I can set the unit precision for lengths to 0.00 for example. When I add a dimension to a drawing it will correct round the length to 12.34 for example. However when the length is more precise 12.00 for example it draws 12 not 12.00.

There is a need to draw the trailing zero because these are often used to denote the tolerance requirement for the length. Our tolerances are usually specified as

x. +-3mm
x.0 +- 0.3mm
x.00 +- 0.03mm

So if the dimensions are draw as 12 instead of 12.00 this can greatly effect the tolerance of part that are made.

For now I am manually changing / overwriting each dimension, but it is a pain and not easily maintainable. If this can't be done at the moment please can you tell me how to request it as an additional feature.

P.S.
I only downloaded LibreCAD yesterday and I think it as a lot of potential. Great piece of software!!
