Drawing units error? |
|
|
SW2005 SP5.0
Someone please try this for me to see if maybe I'm just nuts or
something.
In a drawing:
1. Set the units to feet & inches, fractions, denominator 64, but not
round to the nearest fraction.
2. Set the dual units to inches, decimal, 3 places.
3. Draw a line and dimension it to some even fraction.
4. Turn on dual dimension for it.
5. At this point you should see an even fraction on the bottom and a
decimal inch number on the top, assuming your positions match mine.
6. Now change that dimension to make the primary units round the
fraction. At this point the top dual dimension changes to millimeters.
If you set the drawing units to round the fraction, it works fine. But
if you set the individual dimension to round, it plops metric into the
dual spot! Or, is it just me????
Actually as I just try a bit more I find that it doesn't matter what
the system units or the dimension primary units are set to - if you
take the dimension off system units, and dual dimension it, the dual
will always be millimeters, with no apparent way to change it.

Looks like we're both nuts. So is 2006.
Zero points, this is a known issue for a previous release. |

As far as I am concerned sp5 has a significant number of bugs and there
should be a proper sp5.1
I have suspicions the deficiencies come about because sp1 was 6 months in
the waiting and the following sp were put together in quick time to keep the
schedule...it is important that users speak up about this because being told
the issue is fixed in or due to be fixed in 06 is not good enough IMHO.
It is not good enough to let this slip type of thing through releases -
SW2005 is not finished yet.
I really hope this is not a new quality standard....

I think it's the same old standard. There's no such thing as finished
software (at least in the MS world). I don't know if there's even a
"reasonably complete". |

maybe so but I think it is pretty bloody poor that users can't now expect
that sp5 will deliver a 'working' version of a release...I presume SW have
given up trying to finish things now and just move on.. <sigh>....CAD would
have to have the worst quality standard of any commercial software.... |

Maybe this is another one of those subversive attempts to unify the
planet into using metric units. (giggle) |
