Dimensions in new .gsm symbol

I am trying to create a new symbol for a tub/shower. When I saved the selected parts (dimensions included) as a new .gsm the dimensions were rounded off to the nearest inch. Are there some settings i can change to keep this from happening ?

Yes, but because I do not know would you modify your objects script to make them height parametrical GDL object or not, I will tell you 2 not programmable methods.

1) uncheck "Fractions in small tags" option from Dimensions Preferences Dialog. And then save your object as GDL again.

2) If you steel need Fractions in small Tags, then explode dimensions & and then save as...
Dank Z.

Das arbeitete sehr gut.
