Ignore Precisions of Individual Measures

Dimension-specific inch conversion precisions are not taken into consideration when this checkbox is selected. If the checkbox is empty, dimension-specific conversion precisions are kept. This function is available when you are converting the existing dimensions in a drawing into inches.

You can define a dimension-specific conversion precision as a dimension property. Select a dimension and the Properties function. Select a precision from the Precision list.

Dimension Data

Note

• If the distance to be converted is less than 1 inch, only fractions of an inch are included in the dimension by default, for example 3/4". If you want 0 to be the first dimension figure, for example 0 3/4", add the keyword suppress_zero_inches= 0 to the draft keyword group.
