integer parameter from real number

[rmckinley]

Does anyone know a good way to convert a model parameter from real number to integer (after it is already being used dozens of times in relations)? Or, even better,does anyone know if there is a way to control the display of decimal placesof a parameter when adding itto a note on a drawing?

To get x decimal places in a drawing note from a parameter, enter this for your parameter: &parameter[.2] will give you 2 decimal places of the real type parameter.

Thanks looslib! It worked perfectly!

And to convert from real to integer in a relation, use floor(&parameter) {rounded down} or ceil(&parameter) {rounded up}.

I know of and use the floor and ceil functionsbut these functions leave several decimal digits on the number.The [.x] method works to control the decimal digit display. Thank you both very much.
