Rounding fractions up, not down.

Rounding fractions up, not down.

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if there is an option to automatically round up fractions from dimensions in drawings.
The reason is that I am making boxes. If the dimension is a little bit bigger it will not be any probleme however, if it is smaller, the object might not fit in.

Thanks all of you in advance.

RE: Rounding fractions up, not down.

I don't think so. Why not call out tolerances?

Why not model it accurately to the correct size?
