Hi to all,
I am new to this community, and look forward to very positive communications here.
We are using CREO 2 Build No. M170.
First of all: This issue has absolutely nothing to do with Tolerancing or with Repeat Regions.
Since going to this build we have been experiencing rounding issues when changing 3 decimal dimensions to 2 decimal dimensions.
My default decimal setting is 3, and I am not changing this setting. I am changing the decimal by going into "Dimension Properties" of the specific dimensions, in either the model or the drawing, and setting the decimal to 2 there, leaving the default set to 3 decimals.
Several of these 2 decimal dimensions have been entered into family tables, and they show up as two decimal numbers, which I believe to be normal.
The problem is that the family table seems to be truncating the 3rd decimal completely, and then, in effect, the dimension ends up rounded down in the drawing rather than rounding up.
EXAMPLE: I am going to use the dimension (6.125") to illustrate the issue that were are experiencing.
When the dimension is set to 2 decimals,CREO will by default, round it up to 6.13, but the family table truncates the 5 altogether and the dimension is displayed as 6.12 rather than 6.13, and when converted back to 3 decimals will be displayed in the family table as 6.120, which will round down to 6.12 rather than round up to 6.13.
To further confuse things, some of these dimensions, when set to 2 decimals, will show up in the "Dimension Properties Window" as 6.12 and some as 6.125, but in either case, when the dimension is set back to 3 decimals, the family table will display the dimension as 6.120.
Thanks for any and all help with this most frustrating issue,
Roger
