    Dimensioning - Fractional Precision Defaults

    Hello, I did some quick keyword searching and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I'll ask the forum. In the drafting environment, when I'm converting a three-place decimal to a fractional dimension, the fractional precision defaults to 1/16. So if I convert .157 to a fraction, it comes...
