I printed DWG drawing to pdf file, and a problem with autocad, fractional dimensions changing to decimal. The dimension in the dwg shows fractional, but the pdf print is showing decimals. (3'-10" becomes 46.0000 or 3'-0" becomes 36.0047) what is happening during printing to cause this change?

You already described the problem.

 

Post your .DWG (It's your autocad Drawing)

You need to give us something in a DWG format to test: if you cannot replicate the problem in a new file then INSERT the problem file into a new file and move on. If you can replicate it in a new file, post that otherwise non-proprietary file here.

Pictures do nothing sadly.

The solution was to explode smart dimensions. I'll move on.

Anyone caught exploding dimensions in our office gets tarred and feathered then carried out on a rail.
