    Is there a way to show the last number of the dimension length as 5 or 0?

     

    I want to show the unit in mm with precision (decimal places) equal zero such that the and to force the last number as 5 or zero

     

    For example, I need to display the 7554mm as 7555 and the 7558mm as 7560

     

    Is there a way to do that?

     

    Thank you for the help,

     

    Best

    Using the DIMSTYLE command, pick the style you want to modify and then set up precision to be 0.0 and round off to be 0.5.  Hope that helps!

    I think it would be Precision = 0.0000 and Round Off 0.0005

    .... and don't forget to uncheck Trailing Zero Suppression, if you always want to show 4 decimal places..

    Whoops!  Just reread the problem.  Yes, precision set to 0 but I think the roundoff should be 5, right?  He's looking for whole number increments of 5.
