Cut Lists and Fractions

[TheProeMan]

I am working quite a bit in the AFX tool, creating metal framed buildings for an architect. He has asked me to put the dimensions for my structural members in fractional form. On the drawing, changing the dimensions from decimal to fraction is pretty easy. That I have been able to do. 

The problem is that I am also trying to provide a cut list that is created directly from my assembly. Currently the values that I am getting in the cut lists are decimal and are limited to one decimal place. I would like to "convert" these values to fractions without having to rewrite all of the values manually in the tables. Is there any options, anywhere, that will allow me to get this done?

Try setting the dimensions to fractional feet-inches in the models. That should be reflected in the cut list although I have not verified this in AFX.

Actually, I just tried doing what you suggested. I added the create-fraction-dims option in the profile parts and saved them. Then I exited Creo and tried creating a new assembly. I had to go back and set the config option in that assembly also. Still the cut lists come out with one decimal place.

We need to do some more research.
