digits roundup problem

[manojnaik]

hi everybody,



I have a problem in Detailing



I have added dual dimensioning. My problem is that



in inch dimension e.g., 1.0039 and it is showing 1.003 when I am changinig digital place What I need is it should show 1.004



Can anyboby help me ?

Thanks

Hi,



My problem is that after I am changing 3 digits it is showing 1.003 instead of 1.004 (roud up of 1.0039).

For dual dimensions, Pro/E truncates the decimal places (rather than rounding). It's meant to make the primary tolerance the driver. So, some of your mm > inch conversions appear to be incorrect.

I've not yet found a way of solving this - maybe one for the Wish List forum?

Has anyone got anything to say about this issue?


Example:

When showing secondary dimensions and tolerances, Pro/E TRUNCATES the
dimensions, rather than rounding them. For instance, an imperial
size of 0.003inch should become 0.0762mm - & at 2 dec.places this should read 0.08mm but gets truncated to 0.07mm.



I had asked PTC about this, but they said it was based on an international standard - anyone know what this is?



Cheers

Ed

it truncates .0062mm. That is the same as .000244 inches. Not that much was cut off.

iam working on 2000i2.


iam not facing any problem in dual dimensioning.i think we need toset up,thenumber of digitsfor "dual_digit_diff " in advanced parameters.


i feel it will work.
