Rounding whole numbers

Rounding whole numbers

Rounding whole numbers

(OP)
I have a drawing where the primary dimension is in feet and inches but I need to have a duel dimension in millimeters rounded to the nearest 5.  That is 5 or 0 in whole numbers not decimals; i.e. 32'-6" = 9906mm rounds to 9905mm.

RE: Rounding whole numbers

(OP)
All I can do is drop the decimals, not change the whole numbers.

RE: Rounding whole numbers

I'm not a fan of modifying/overriding the dim. I would change the model dim's to get the correct dim on the drawing.

It is very apt then that you chose duel (one fighting another) rather than dual (same dimension, different units)
