Decimal places 1

[Lars1978]

I've inserted a part attribute into a note to display the length of the centre bend line.

This is really nice exept i'd like to show this with fewer decimal places....

Any suggestions?

One method would be to use a tabular note, create a reference to the attribute in one cell and format the cell accordingly.

Another way would be to reference the attribute expression directly, then you can use the formatting to control the number of decimal places. For example, if the attribute expression is "p0", the note would look something like: "Length: <X0.2@p0>mm". Where the "0.2" represents the formatting (leading zero and 2 decimal places).

Cowski,

How can I reference the attribute expression directly. I was infact searching for these ("Length: <X0.2@p0>mm") kind of writing.

Below is from a post I responded to on here several years ago.

<X1.4@p1>

Where p1 is the expression and X1.4 is what controls how the number is displayed.
The "1" (after the X) signifies that the zero before the decimal is displayed (if the number is less than one) - if that number is a "0" then nothing will appear before the decimal point.
The "4" signifies how many digits passed the decimal point will be displayed.

so if p1=.31244733456
it will appear as 0.3124

Jerry,

Maybe a simple question. In mij screenshot the attribute is displayed as: <WRef1*0@lengte>mmm. This is different from the <X1.4@p1>

I mean when it works my length had to show up as 0 places behind the point displayed?

I really didn't know why the difference, so I needed to look it up.
I hope the link will answer your question. I just skimmed it, and it looked good. I will read it more later today.

It still doesn't give an answer on the question, right? At least I didn't find it.
How can I get less decimals with the WRef1*0 annotation?

Groeten, Michel
