Dimension Text Question

Post by Corey Dihel »

Is there a way to round a dimension, say, to the nearest foot? For example, rounding 629.63' to 630'.

Hi Corey,

The numbers in the dimension tool have the number of decimal places specified on the Settings|Units tab. You can (temporarily) set this to zero while placing your dimensions to get rounding to the nearest foot.

If you are talking about Irricad labels you can round numeric labels to the nearest specified number with a modified keyword.
e.g., to round the #LENGTH# to the nearest unit your would use #LENGTH;1#. See the help file for more on labeling.

Regards,

Dan
