Dimensioning problems
Dimensioning problems
(OP)
I know this has probably been covered before but I really need some help with this.
I have given a drawing a dimension of lets say 14.5
It is showing 14.998 I have tried to change the precision it seems to cover the problem but doesnt fix it. Also I have been looking for a "exact" dimension setting in the standards with no luck. I am not sure how to fix this.
Any Ideas?

In the Drafting world, look to the orientation of the view - if the view is a little skewed it can cause this, as the geometry may be foreshortened.
RE: Dimensioning problems
does this happen with all dimensions on all views?
a screen shot would help!

I have found that setting the decimal precision to a minimum of 5 places helps eliminate this kind of problem. It may not be the answer to your problem, but FWIW...
