Question 1: When the number preceeding a 5 is odd, UG rounds up; when that number is even, UG rounds down.
.135 -> .14 and .145 -> .14
Why would anybody want this to happen?

Question 2: How do you change this back to the "normal" rounding mode where all 5's are rounded up? Solid Edge has a simple check box to toggle this, but I cannot find anything similar in UG.

Thanks very much in advance!

 
Answer to question 1:
ANSI standards!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANSI Z210.1

It has been discussed on the internal UG BBS before.

Answer to question 2:
There is no toggle for this in UG.
