Units Help

[NewImhotep]

Iam trying to export an autocad drawing to another program with rounded units (like 25.897 to be 25.6 ) , I tryied with adjust Decimal Precision but it dose't help.
Any way to figure out this ?

25.897 will not round to 25.6.

Oh sorry, I meant 25.897 to be 25.9

If you click on units Command and use
select only 1 place for the decimal
precision and then use regen,
I think it would round the way you want.

Unfortunately that also dosen't work.

I'm not sure what you mean by exporting to another program but I think the numeric accuracy of the Autocad database will remain unchanged regardless of the precision you select in either the units command or for dimensioning. The precision just effects inquiries and dimensions as far as I know.

You could try DXFOUT to an ascii format with a decimal place accuracy of 1... I don't know if it will work well for you (or at all)

Have you tried to explode this.
Units command usually works.
I have a guess that if it does
not change, it must be a block
of some sort.
