Fusion is not precise when measuring ?!

I noticed that in Fusion 89.98 degree will read like 90D

Obviously this is problematic.

Hi Claas,

 

I believe this is just due to the angular precision being used. By default, Fusion displays angular measurements to 1 decimal place. You can change this in the Preferences, under 'Unit and Value Display'. The 'Angular precision' setting here lets you display angular values with anything up to 9 decimal places:

Setting this to 2 decimal places should give you the same accuracy as Rhino.

 

However, this does highlight the fact that the 'Precision' setting inside the Measure command does not seem to be appying to angular measurements. I'll follow up on why that is and whether we can change this behaviour.

 

Thanks!

Jake
