7.16.7.1. Correct display of inch variables in dimensionings

As of V11 SP9 decimal values in dimensionings can be displayed as fraction.

For this use following expression:

%frac%[Genauigkeit]

Examples:

"{0.75%frac%2}" is displayed as "3/4".

"{AUTOMATIC%frac%5}"

"{H1%frac%5}"

Mixed dimension text is also possible:

"{0.75%frac%2} = {0.75}" is displayed as "3/4 = 0.75".

[Important]Important

The accuracy of values determines how many decimal places will be considered.

So "{0.75%frac%1}" is displayed as "4/5", because 0.75 is rounded to 1 decimal place (0.8 -> 4/5).

The maximum value for accuracy is 9. Higher values are reset internally to 9.

Compatibility

If a part is opened in a version that does not support fractions, the decimal value will show up.
