Have you tried setting up the grid and turning on grid lock?

What you need to do is enter the following keyin:

mdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 5.0, 1083)

You also need to ensure you dimension style is set to 0.1 accuracy for it to work correctly. Don't worry it wont actually display dims with any decimal places (unless you choose to enable trailing zeros) but it needs this setting for the dim values to work.

To stop using the round up, just run the keyin below:

mdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 1.0, 1083)

What a genius, thank you Barry Lothian  :)

Is there a similar keyin to round to the nearest 5"?

Hi Adrian,

I don't work with Feet and Inches but from a quick test the same key-in works to provide 5" readings, i.e
mdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 5.0, 1083)

My settings are as follows
Working Units:
Primary: Feet
Secondary: Inches
Accuracy: 1/16 (change to whatever suits)

Dimension Settings:
Label Format: Mu Label SU Label
Master: Feet
Sub: Inches
Accuracy: 1/16

Invoking the keying changes my sub units reading to this kind of thing
10ft 0in
10ft 5in
10ft 10in
11ft 0in etc...

And once again to reset the active dimension readout change use this keyin
mdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 1.0, 1083)

Hi Barry

Thanks for the reply but what I actually meant was is it possible round a bearing dimension to the nearest 5 seconds (")?
