Drafting Dimension Rounding
Drafting Dimension Rounding
(OP)
Is there a way to get all displayed dimension values to round up in V20?
For example: 6.1 to round up to 7.
The ROUND-UP option in the Units Tab of the dimension style editor only rounds values 5 and over. Less than 5 and it rounds down. (settle down, I realize this is the standard method of rounding. Just need all numbers rounded up)

I think you're screwed: I can't think of any way to do this
other than by programming a small macro or addin

Every dim you put on becomes a variable.
Open the variable table and locate one of you dims eg. V123
Now create a new variable called something like RND_V123 and set the formula to FIX(V123)+1
THIS WILL TAKE THE INETEGER PART OF THE DIMENSION AND ADD ONE TO IT.
Now turn off the display of the dimension text, and on the prefix/suffix set the Subfix to %{RND_V123}
Just in case you can't read these characters thats
"Percent", "LH Sqiggly Bracket" "RND_V123" "RH Squiggly Bracket"
You would need to do this for every dimension, each with it's own matching variable.

The Round-Up option should probably be relabeled as ROUND because that's what it does. Almost seems like a bug to me.
Will start looking at using Excel for display of dimensions because =ROUNDUP(#.#) does what I need it to do there.
RE: Drafting Dimension Rounding
this should do (assuming a max. of 2 decimals):
var1 3.12
var2 3.00
fix(var1+0.99) --> 4.00
fix(var2+0.99) --> 3.00
