The strongest foundation in creating a good SOLIDWORKS solid model is a sketch. Small errors are still big! RE: Always round up or down dimensions. There are many ways to build a SOLIDWORKS part document. 01858/63013 - 'Adobe Dimension CC 2019 2. Going to a greater number of decimal places reduces the error, obviously, but there is still an error, and I'm working to plus/minus 0.0001". It sounds complicated as heck written down! (Remember, any more than 1.46 and I go too big.) Conversely if I had a value 1.44 for the bottom limit, I'd want dimension to say 1.5, even though the rounded value should be 1.4 (any less than 1.44 and I go too small.)

For the top limit I'd use on my drawing, I'd want the dimension to say 1.4, even though the rounded value should be 1.5, to ensure I stay in tolerance. So what I want to do is have the resulting dimension rounded down for the top limit tolerance, and up for the bottom limit tolerance, no matter what the last digit is.įor example, say I'm working to 1 decimal place, and say my converted figure for the top limit of my dimension came out at precisely 1.46, and anymore than that is out of limits. Perfectly normal and reasonable, but often the value I end up at, when converted back to metric units, is outside the tolerance the customer demands. That's not quite what I want to do! The problem is if the last digit of my converted value is 5 or above, the dimension I use will be rounded up, and down if it's below. Right, so is there a way to force acad to always force a top limit tolernace to round down, (making the above example 5.799), and bottom limit tolernace to always round up? I will be definitly always be within limits then, and it will let me use the dimensioning system of autocad the way it's supposed to be used, rather than having to do all my dims manually. I have to manually check and change every dimension, top and bottom limits, to make sure it is within the metric limits! Not much, granted, but it is out of tolerance. If I'm working to three decimal places, autocad will round that off to 5.800, which will potentially put me out of tolerance by 0.0004, or 0.01mm.

For example, a top limit of 147.31mm converts to 5.7996. invoke DIM command to create vertical, horizontal dimensions by moving cursor, create baseline, continuation dimensions, generate custom arrows for dimension, leader lines, add tolerances. The reason is, I have to be sure that the imperial values I use fall within the tolerance limits on the metric drawing. Now, I'm converting dimension values as I go, but when it comes to tolerancing my drawing, I have to edit each dimension individually. I'm working for a customer drawing in metric units, and my company still works in imperial (english). I've got an annoying problem with dimensioning.
