Drawing and Design dimensions don't match?

[mirageman01]

Hello all. I am a total newb that's just getting started with Fusion. I have successfully created a part in the regular Fusion environment. However when trying to make a 2D drawing with dimension some of them are not corresponding to the proper measurements. And yes I'm trying to dimension Orthographic view as the drawing I'm trying to make is so I have a print to work off of. What isn't specifically translating is an ID on a cylinder. The fusion program shows it correctly at .625" but when I use the "Dimension" tool in the create drawing section it changes it to .630". It does this no matter what I do. I've tried to use a 1:1 ratio and that doesn't work either. I've attached screen captures to illustrate the problem.

I suspect that this is just a display precision issue.  The default precision is 2 digits, so .625 will display as .63.  I'm not sure exactly which document setting you need to change, but try one of the units settings:

if you choose 3 digits or more, you will get .625

Is there more than one place to make that change because I did change that to .12345 already and it still didn’t work.

Hi @mirageman01 

As Jeff pointed out. Document settings (find these in the browser) for the drawing will let you set the dimension precision for the entire drawing. If you double click an individual dimension, you can set it’s precision (this is essentially an override to the document settings)

Well I'm not exactly sure where I made the change that made the difference but I found a couple of places to specify the decimal point both in the drawing and in the main preferences which I altered. In the "drawing" it was already set to .12345 so maybe it was just a glitch.

Thanks for the help!
