Simple Dimension Help

[creatrix]

Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to get the dimension # I want when doing Point to point dimensions?

See my screenshot and notice the irritating 1/16th after the 6 on the toe rest where I simply want 6". I've tried using the tab key and typing in

the exact # with no luck.

Yes, I've watched videos, read posts on forums to no avail.

thanks in advance!

Hmm, al I can think of is you may have a reference grid on..

 

Have you tried just changing the tolerance of that one dim to one?  Uncheck "Use Default Formatting"

So typically what you want to do is first select the object that is located by the dimension and then select the dimension # you want to change. If you have a true point-to-point dimension, then there should be a marker at each end so you would need to select the marker first and then move it by typing in the dimension value.  Sometimes other things can block the movement though.

 

In your case, changing the dimension rounding (as suggested by Michael) will probably work fine but I wouldn't do that with more important things like walls where you want them located correctly or other things can get messed up.  Another thing you can do in cases like this is just override the dimension value that is displayed.
