Just trying to add a BOM to my drawing, and I noticed that my sizes are a bit odd. The pad you see below is 120 x 120 x 12.5, yet when I go to the BOM it seems to think it's a different size? Which is a bit odd, as you can see in the bar at the top of the image it's saying 12.5. So if I need a cut list with anymore than 1 decimal place I have problems. Anyone else seeing this?

If you change your files units to 4 decimal places what does it show then.

But I've just started a new file now and done 2 screen captures, I'll upload them here, you can see the difference in decimal places.

Then when I went to the bom and tried 1 decimal place and 2, I got errors, it measures under 120 and 12.5. How have you got yours? edit I've done a 120 x 120 square and used that, not extruded or anything and these are my results. I found using 'extent properties' I get less errors, though when I go to 4 or 5 decimal places, there's a random 3 at the end, it reads 120.00003? Most others follow suit like the attached image Edited by user Friday, January 26, 2018 2:16:06 AM(UTC) \| Reason: More information added UGMENTALCASE attached the following image(s): Untitled 1.jpg (105kb) downloaded 3 time(s).
