What have you got your snaps set to? 

These temporary dimensions are actual - not rounded which is what you should want.  With proper snap settings, you should only see bad dimensions like this isf you are importing CAD.

thanks for reply... i checked... manage...snaps....was set to "on" and tollerance of 6' ; 4'; 1'; 0' 0 1/4";.... tried turning them off and then smaller and larger settings ... no change... but i did notice that the odd dimensions come up as fractions of 16...ie: 1/128; 1/256 ....etc... i did not realize revit sees temporary dimension as "normal" dimensions.. guess that is why there are no more settings for them than exists

worthy of note: when i apply... annotate... aligned dimension.... it never comes up with odd fractions... even on a wall where the temp dims show odd fractions....

thanks for response...much appreciated.... i will continue to search for settings inside revit..
