Dimension display
(OP)
I am working with fractional inches while dimensioning my parts/sketches. For example, I need to type in 4 5/8" or 3 1/16". How can I do that without having to convert to decimal? Also, I would like to have the dimensions in drawings show up in the same fractional format instead of showing up as decimal like 4.625.
I will appreciate your help.

RE: Dimension display
You can choose Fractions, Denominator, and whether you want dims to "round to nearest fraction"
Save this as a template for future use

RE: Dimension display
1) when I select "Fraction" in Units, "Decimal" field does not get disabled. So should I enter 4 or 5 in decimal as well in order that the software doesn't round off fractions like 5/32 which are equal to .15625?
2) Suppose I select "Fraction" and enter 8 in denominator field. Then fractions like 3/8, 5/8 will appear fine. But what if I also want to enter fractions with different denominators like 5/16, 7/32...? I want to be able to enter any fraction with any denominator without rounding off.
Thanks again.
RE: Dimension display
Leave you decimal set to whatever you want to show. But I doubt your machine or fabrication shop will appreciate a dimension set to 5 places.
If you dont want to round off any dimensions, deselect that switch.
