What do you mean Jimb ?

As I understand, Feet and Inches are the primary units of Shark / ViaCAD

From here, oddly enough - all measurements are translated to metric

In the dimension properties the linear accuracy must be set to be as significant. If you are dimensioning say 30.625" need at least 3 decimal places to show 2'-6 5/8".

Hi Jason I am using windows 8 64 bit I am set to five decimal places of tolerance. I draw a line 36 .625" it measures 3' 5/8" 42" line measures 3' a 39" line measures 3', a 24 .625 measures 2' 5/8"

My computer at work is running XP and there doesn't seem to be issues with it. I think its a window 8 issue.

Thanks Jim
