stevenyhof Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Does anyone know how to turn off or in some way fix this odd fraction issue? I feel embarrassed having this on my plan and having to make a framer figure out what 2/3" is - somewhere between 5/8" and 11/16". - I have my fraction set to 1/16" as smallest so figure it should round up or down. ???

Chrisb222 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 IDK when I set the smallest fraction to 1/16 and type in a 2/3 dimension it automatically displays 5/8. Maybe post a plan showing the behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenyhof Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Here is a link to the plan... I stripped it down but it is still a large file See below thread zip file See the front porch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Did you link to the right plan?? I'm not seeing anything like your screenshot above. And no need to back up the entire plan. Just save, close Chief, zip and send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Uncheck Reduce Fractions just for this dimension line. Don't do it for the dimension defaults! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worked!! I had to check Use Greater ... to make it change. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I believe starting with 6'-7" would just make more sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doing that because your Dimension Default is set to Distance Rounding. Change the Primary Format to "Grid Rounding" and the problem goes away. And I would absolutely urge you to change your dimension defaults. Most of your user dim defaults beginning with an * are set to use Distance Rounding, which has the potential to introduce dimension errors in your dimension string. (You also should check "Use Greatest Common Divisor" instead of "Use Closest Fraction.) From Help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenyhof Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 All fixed up. I must have changed that years ago when I set things up because it defaults to Grid Rounding. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
