Squiggly line on dimension Text-Layout

I've moved a 'viewport' in Layout and some of the Dim Text are now prefixed by a squiggle. It happens whether or not I preselect the Dim Text as well as the viewport or not. If I delete the dimension re-dimension all is OK, but how do can I avoid this and can anyone tell me what it means?

Doesn't it mean that the value is rounded?

Yes. The dimension is rounded to the nearest value based on the chosen Precision setting. SketchUp will also show the tilde when dimensions are rounded. My suggestion would be to set Precision in the SketchUp model and in LO if needed, to a higher setting than you require so you have a better indication of how far off the dimension is from the desired setting.
