Measurement
(OP)
I have a line that is at 7.5 Degrees from the x axis. But when measured it shows as 7.499 degrees.
Any Idea why this would happen?

I tried messing with the trailing zeros. Unfortunatly I dont think this fixes the problem I think it just hides it.

RE: Measurement
Cosirius: are you getting the 4.4999 even when you use the .0001 precision?

On a practical level - many aerospace components and mechanisms require +/- .0005 tolerances. Not many, but a few. Otherwise, +/- .010 is pretty typical for engineering tolerances, which means the tooling tolerance is .003
But those are linear tolerances, not angular.
I still think you are dealing with a bug that is fixed in a higher SP. We are running R17SP5 without this problem.
