Model Nominal Dimensions Change Unexpectedly

Model Nominal Dimensions Change Unexpectedly


I have a sketch that has the diameter controlled by the left circle in the sketch. I want this dimension to be now controlled by the right circle in the sketch. When I change the reference dimension on the right circle to “strong”, the dimension actually changes from .1505 to .151. Take a look at the pictures.

What can I do to prevent this from incorrectly rounding the dimension to a different value?

If I have four1/16” dimensions next to each other, and then if they get inadvertently rounded (without me catching the error), my fourth modeled feature is now off by .002” – severely affecting the design intent.


Regards,

Bob

Check Config option - default_dec_places


Also,look atFile, Options under "Sketcher"... "number of decimal places for dimensions"


It appears as though you arerounding up to a set 2 place dim once it is made strong.
