Bug in function evaluation

[sdotson]

One of the users on mCADForums discovered this bug....

"I have a value of 3516.41mm and I want to round it to the nearest whole number.
I have tried to use the round command and it seems to round up to the nearest 10 so 3516.41mm would round up to 3520mm. So how do I get would I go about rounding to the nearest whole number?"

I suspect this is due to Inventor's internal units being cm.  However as we specific "a" to be in mm and "b" to be in mm this should not be happeneing.  YOu can cheat a bit to get the right answer but in my opinion this is a bug.

Hi Sean,

You can use the following formula round(a/1)*1 = 3516

You could also consider using "ceil" or "floor".
