exporting shp file

Hi all

when exporting a shp file from arc gis pro the shp file never exports to 3 decimal places, all numeric fields populate as below - any ideas how to solve this please.

few examples below

1.64000000000e+00 its meant to be 1.64

1.52000000000e+00 its meant to be 1.52

thanks

Add the shapefile to a map view, select the shapefile in the contents pane, right-click and select Data Design->Fields. This will open the Fields Designer. For any numeric field, go to the Number Format column, double click the Numeric term, select the 3 dots and this opens the number format. Format your numbers for Decimal places to 2. Click OK. Your numbers should now just have 2 decimal values such as 1.64 and 1.52.
