Is it possible to control the decimal places of a value parameter by means of a formula?

Any response will be greatly appreciated!

I’m having problems with the round function.

Can someone please?
1. Create a “Pad”
2. Create a counter bore using the “Hole” function
3. High-light the counter bore diameter, “right-click” the dimension and click “Edit Formula…”
4. Click “Math” under “Dictionary”
5. Click “round (Real): Real” function under “Members of math”
6. Try rounding the counter bore dimension value to 2 decimal places in “inch” units

I can’t figure out number 6, can anyone help?

Any response will be greatly appreciated!
 
Torsional,
You can not round the input value of counter bore and place the output back as the input. This causes a logical loop. You would need to create a parameter for counter bore size and if you are going to that extent you might as well round the number yourself.
