Round up NOT round down in a parts list!!

Round up NOT round down in a parts list!!

When combining items like frames, if you apply unit formatting and a whole number precision, it rounds the value DOWN which is useless in most cases.

Why would you want to be forced to buy less of what you need?

This is in addition to this idea which asks for something identical but at BOM level, it should be possible at both BOM and parts list level.

@Neil_Cross, have you considered an iLogic solution for this?  Seems like you could effectively get what you want (even if it's not literally doing the same thing) by having an iLogic rule that rounds the G_L parameter up to the desired increment and writes that out to another parameter ("CUT_LENGTH", or whatever name makes sense to you).  Then use that parameter as the quantity basis instead of G_L.

 

Not as clean as what you're asking for, but could be implemented a lot faster than waiting for Autodesk to add it to the program.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
