    Xform > Scale (rounding to the fifth decimal place?)

    Hi, I'm trying to scale a metric to imperial, I am trying to scale by 0.03937 but as I press 'enter' the field changes to 0.0394

    This is actually scaling out of tolerance

    any ideas?

    Any apps or calculator will round off at the display, internally they keep all decimals. You may give it a try by scaling by 39.37 and verify any dimension divided by 1000.

    the best way is to scale it by 25.4 as the other factor will leave you short. of just change the file factor from Metric to english in the MC Config and it will ask to scale for you and take care of for you.

    What Version of MC X6?
