 *'''Decimal Tolerances:''' [[File:settings13.png|right]]The decimal tolerance for the lengths, angles, and rotations can be adjusted here. This will affect the dimensions that are displayed on the 3D part model and the values in the results table. The decimal tolerance controls how many digits will be allowed after decimals points for length, angle, and rotation. In the tolerance options, each digit place is represented by an '''n'''.
-:For example, if the angle tolerance is set to '''n.nn''' and the actual angle is '''90.539°''', the angle will be rounded to '''90.54°'''. If the angle tolerance is set to just '''n''', then the angle would be rounded to '''90°'''.
