Hi all,
what i am about to ask will hopefully make sense to someone out there. I have a problem while working with family tables. I have a generic part with a drawing of that part. Now, because of industry standards, all the dimensions shown for this particular part are to one decimal place, when i first shown the dimensions for a given feature they appear to two decimal places, (which is what my sketcher preferences is set to) i pick the dimensions & using properties set the number of places to one. This sorts out my drawing but i have found that there is an un-welcome side affect, any instance that i create after that will not allow me to input to two decimal places. This is a major headache for me. Let me give an example of what i am trying to achieve. Lets say i have a square block 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 50.00mm & i create a drawing detailing the block. I need the dimensions on the drawing to show 50.0 (1 decimal place), all is well until i create an instance which needs to be 50.05mm x 50.05mm x 50.05mm, because i rounded to one decimal place on my generic part my family table instance can only be to one decimal place, i do not appear to be able to regenerate a block 50.05 square. Like i said, a major headache for me.
Does anyone out there have an answer for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John
