Is there a way to have the value calculated by an equation
automatically round to the nearst whole inch? We have some equations
that we use to locate some components in an assembly but the equation
never results in a nice whole number and the location of these
components is not so critical that we want to dimension them to the
16th or 32nd. If we just set the dimension in the drawing to round the
dimensions will look ok but the dimension string will not add up to
equal the actual overall dimension.

Thanks,

Sam

Look in the help under "Equatins --> Functions". There is an integer
function, "INT". INT gives the lowest whole integer of a decimal
number,
i.e. INT(10.666 ) = 10.
For rounding to nearest (up or down), you can add 0.5 to the final,
i.e. INT(10.222 + 0.5) = 10,
INT(10.666 + 0.5) = 11
