I’m having a problem with the automatic round up feature for the dimensioning. Is there a way to change the setting to, no rounding or round down. I looked in the options section and couldn’t find anything that is like that.

Round-up is the standard–I have one job where it was decided for a certain purpose that anything even under 0.5 should be rounded up to the next inch, and geez that’s a pain to deal with, I made code to do it–just set the dimension units to show more decimals?

can you send me the code so I can add it please
Oh it’s a proprietary thing and has a peculiar workflow of no use to anyone else.
I used Pyhton with rs.DimesnionValue to retrieve the value of a dimension, and rs.DimensionUserText to write my custom-rounded value.
And again my advice is just to make your dimension style more precise, don’t break the rounding convention used in all fields of human endeavour. My situation was only because of someone not wanting to get sued because some minimum clearance to a thing wasn’t achieved because a number was rounded down from 0.25", which was not something that could actually happen.

That is similar to my current situation as well, when dealing with decimal fractions the end with 8, ie. 1/8, 3/8, and 7/8. the decimal form of these numbers with a tolerance of X.XX always rounds up and 0.13 is shown as the dimension.
Jim I also wanted to thank you for your response.
