    Newbie - DRafting on Mastercam X5

    Hi, my teacher gave me some drawings to duplicate and practice at home and one thing that is giving some troubles right now is when there are decimal places involve like for example a 24.95mm circle. When I use the circular dimension to illustrate it it becomes 25mm. When I analyse the entity properties of that circle it is still 24.95mm. Is it normal that it will do an automatic round off ? or do I need to do some tweaking on the "drafting option" to fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    it is in the config

    settings ( drop down menu ) - configuration - analyse
    or Alt-F8 - analyse
    set number of decimal places to analyse
    If you can ENVISION it I can make it

    Oh wait are you using the home learning edition?
    if yes, it rounds it off in that version.
