Dimension Round-off
Dimension Round-off
(OP)
How to round-off dim values to specific least counts (not to number of decimals)
For ex. if least-count set to 0.5, then
Actual size Rounded-off Value
10.3---> 10.5
10.2---> 10.0
For ex. if least-count set to 0.5, then
Actual size Rounded-off Value
10.3---> 10.5
10.2---> 10.0

This is to me is a so basic thing, can be required at number of cases. I know 10 years ago AutoCAD R10 was capable for it.

RE: Dimension Round-off
you can apply a formula for that specific rounding. IMO SE
sticks to what VBScript offers and that is not much, see functions
in Variables. And that's the reason why there is no Floor()/Ceil() and V100 has not improved in that area

"If you are applying dimensions to one dp then what does it matter if it's 10.3 or 10.5 - you will still have to measure to the same accuracy to check it"
It is different numbers 10.3 & 10.5 and you think it doesn't matter!!!!!!?????
Drawing Readed look at drawing NOT model.
RE: Dimension Round-off
Why not have a 10.3 dimension, why 10.5? And if you really want 10.5 not 10.3 why not model it that way?
I personly find rounding to cause a lot of problems. If the 'end' dimension is 10.5 then the model should usually be 10.50000000000000000000000000 ad infinitum.
More than once I've witnessed problems from people not following this rule.
KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?

RE: Dimension Round-off
I think you mis-understood my comment.
What I mean is why round up from 10.3 to 10.5 - it's still dimensioned to 1dp, and any checking/inspection has to be done to the same accuracy whichever is on the drawing.
