How can I find irrational dimensions? e.g. 1.242354363

I've recently received several Creo models and drawings. In a few drawings I've noticed that while some dimensions are displayed as 5.00 they are actually 5.001325334....

 

Is there anyway I can quickly find such dimensions without having to manually interrogate each one? I can then fix these dimensions in the model.

Hello rhudd

try following in drawing space.

1. Active Annotate bar - set filter to dimmension (right bottom corner)

2.  Select all dimmensions in your drawing (with mouse)

3. Press RMB - select properties - set decimal places to 30

4. Find "bad" dimmensions


Hope it can help
