I must be missing something very basic.   How do you set the number of significant digits displayed for coordinates in ArcGIS Pro?  In ArcMap I'm showing 3 significant digits to the right of the decimal when I edit vertices in a line.   In Pro, with the same projection defined, I only see two significant digits.    In ArcMap the X values are *slightly* different -- varying only in the thousandths place.    In ArcGIS Pro, truncating values to the hundredths place, the values are the same.

Hello Edward

You can do this!

You need to go to the Project tab | Options.

Under the Project category select Units.

Choose Location Units and then for, for example, Meters click in the value for Format as this will then display the Numeric Format dialog.

For Rounding | Decimal places choose 3.

And then press OK on the dialog boxes to commit the changes.

I think that should do the trick for you.

Let us know how you get on as this all adds to the knowledge hive mind.

Many thanks ed

This doesn't address the problem exactly as asked but you can click in the cell to reveal more digits:

Hi Barry -

That's useful, thanks.   As you say, its not as good as ArcMap, but better than nothing.

This worked.   I could swear that I tried this before to no effect.  But following your steps it worked.  Much appreciated!
