X3 smart dimensiom

How can I change the tolerance setting for smart dimension? When I use smart dimension the information "rounds upward" which is causing a major problem. I get correct data when I use the "analyze entities" command, just not when I use smart dimension.

 

Also, somehow the display of my coordinates became disabled when using smart dimension.

 

Thanks...

There are a couple of places you can set that value,... in the system config, go to Dimensions and notes then set the decimal places in the dimension attributes or with Smart Dimension active, select the icon for numbers then set the number of decimal places.

 

Also, somehow the display of my coordinates became disabled when using smart dimension.

 

F9 will toggle the origin back on, alt+F9 will toggle the X,Y,Z orientation

Neither of these methods worked for me. The "smart dimension" still rounds up to the next nearest digit. For instance, if my point is at Y zero and x 2.478, when I dimension the point position my coordinates will read Y zero and X of 2.75. (For reference, if I "analyze" the entity then I get the desired coordinate.)

 

Any other suggestions?
