Is there a way to change the decimal precision in a cell that has a SUM formula? The default seems to be 4 decimal places.

The default is your current units setting. You can change the displayed format in the cell's context menu - see:

Thanks for the reply.
I've tried the suggestion in the CAD Forum tip - selecting the cell, right click, and choose Data format.
I don't seem to have Data format in my context menu.

Are you sure you have the 2008 version? (see the related products in the tip)

I am working with AutoCAD 2006 LT.
I know that this is a stripped down program (from the full version), but shouldn't there still be a way to set a precision value?

It is not a LT limitation, it is a new function in the 2008-version (both full and LT).
