Dilema with Dual Dimensions
Dilema with Dual Dimensions
(OP)
I am having a dilema with dual dimensions in 2006 SP4.1. My drawing units are mmgs. The document properties are set for inches as the dual units with fractions checked and rounding checked. The mm dimension is 13750.02383262. SW insists on rounding 541.34 to 541 1/2 no matter what I do. I have tried dimension override, but the dual dimension cannot be overidden and overriding the mm dimension is quirky. I want the dual dimension to be 541 5/16". Any thoughts on how to get there?

Nope, the primary dimension is mm so the control over the secondary seems limited. I wish I could specify the denominator for the secondary.

Tools > Options > Document Properties > Units and in the Dual Units section there is a Denominator field with drop-down selection.

OK, it isn't a drop down, it is incremental. Click an arrow and it moves from 2 to 3 to 4, etc. It is necessary to type in the denominator in going from 2 to 32 or there are a lot of mouse clicks.
Not intuitive, but I did miss it. Thanks.
