CATIA rounding rules and settings

Hi, I have an issue with CATIA rounding off lengths inconsistently.

There are two dimensions at 1.25, which each need to be displayed on the drawing to 1 d.p. In one case the dimension is rounded to 1.2 and in the other it is rounded to 1.3. This is really obvious on the drawing since the part is symmetrical (and yes the customer does want both to be dimensioned rather than using "2 PLCS").

I've checked the model and it is exactly 1.25 in the subject locations. Also, if you set them both to a higher number of d.p on the drawing they both display 1.25, so its not as if one is 1.24999.

And no I don't want to use a fake dimension or any other such method.

Has anyone come accross this issue before? Do I need to change settings? I haven't found any settings to control this.

Many thanks
