Hey guys, I set up my dimensions to round off to the nearest 1/2" on this particular job and noticed this. I design to 23' but it dimensions to 23-0 1/2". Not good. Is there an X15 update to fix this bug?

If you want to know if you have the latest update for your version, just go to the help menu and use the "download program updates" tool.  This will tell you if you have the latest version, which you probably should make sure you have.

 

As far as your dimensions are concerned, I bet that Brett is right that it has to do with the rounding method.  Chief uses some logic that tries to make sure that your intermediate dimensions will always add up to the overall dimensions so your plans won't look wrong.  If you really want them to be right, you probably need to check all of your dimension values to make sure they are set correctly.  If you are still having problems figuring out where it is having the problem, then you should post your plan.

dimension rounding method / grid snap settings

At age 59.66 yrs old, I am still learning new things everyday.  I don't use grids, EVER, so I don't have this issue, but it's good to know these settings.

At 52.50 yrs I still feel like a rookie just about every day. Keeps things interesting! :)

Did you have that issue before rounding to ½"?

 

I keep mine at 1/16th and force objects to move to the exact dimension I want.

So far, the CAD obeys me.

No, never. Something is definitely off. However, I can work around it because I cannot figure it out.
