This one might be hard to explain. And a bit picky, but oh well.
I have a part that is 136.1875 inches long.
I want to scale the part down to be exactally 10 inches on my drawing. So I apply the formula 1/(136.1875/10) to get the scale to apply to the view.
My viewscale that I see in the intent model properties is 0.07342817806333 which is close to the number I get with my windows calculator(0.07342817806333180357962368058743).
However, when I look at the intent model width property I see a value of 10.0000000005782. When I use 0.07342817806333 * 136.1875, my windows calculator shows 9.999999999999754375. When I use 0.07342817806333180357962368058743 * 136.1875, my windows calculator shows 10.000000000000000000000000000001. Where did 10.0000000005782 come from?
Anyway, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the intersection of inventor accuracy and ETO accuracy? Inventor's 100 millionth vs ETO's 10 trillionth = inconsistancy
