rounding parameters up to nearest fraction

[Anonymous]

I am creating a BOM for an assembly that I have. In the parts list I want to include the size of the part rounded up to the nearest fraction. I am setting up the parts list using model parameters but it always rounds to the nearest fraction. I use Inventor pro 2015.

Here is an example of what I am looking for:

    what inventor does: 35.4253=35 27/64

    what i need: 35.4253=35 7/16

Hi,

A little bit more information would be good, but making the assumtion you are going to add the parts list to a drawing, you can format the column on the drawing to round the fraction as desired. Simply edit the parts list, right click over the column diplaying the vaules and select format column, select the 'Apply Units Formatting' option and set the units up however you like. If the format dropdown is greyed out change the unit type to something else then back again and it should become available.

That formatting will always round to the nearset fraction, I need it to always round up no matter what. I attached what the parts list formatting gave me. I need the 35 27/64" to round up to 7/16" (model parameter value is 35.4253). This is more for a BOM, I'll never get a 35.4253" wide part out of a 35 27/64"(35.421875") wide sheet of steel.
