Summary


Details

In the drafting environment, when displaying dimension values to two decimal places, the third decimal place value is rounded down instead of rounded. Is this behavior working as expected?

Reproduced Steps:

1. Creating a model with dimension value with more than 3 decimal places > create a dimension in Drafting environment

2. File > Preferences > Drafting > Dimension > Text > Units > Decimal Place = 2

Before changing:

Solution

The behavior is working as designed, comply with IEEE 754. The example introduced in the sample is the drafting dimension, but it is the same for PMI and sketch.

WORKAROUND:

There is no workaround other than manually editing the text. (Select dimension text > right mouse click > settings > Text > Format > Override Dimension Text)


In addition, some enhancement requests related to "rounding" have been submitted.
