Sig Fig’s in Notes

[bds3]

My drawing is pulling hole information from my model hole note. How can I change the number of significan figures that will be displayed?

Select the note, then right click and select Edit Value. After any value you need to change the sig figures on add [.2] were the 2 is for 2 places.


For example ".....&THREAD_DEPTH[.2]
&NUMBER_SIZE DRILL ( &DIAMETER ) &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH[.2]" hase the depth values set to 2 places.

Is there a way to reduce sig figs past the decimal? Let's say I've got a value that I want to round to the nearest 10. I know that I can't do [-.1] or [1.] But I'm sure it's possible.

Anyone??


Perhaps if relations are involved??

 

[Rbrgr83]

Does anyone even have any suggestions on how to do this??


It seems very odd that this would not be possible.

Right now I have no idea but I remember something about relations and parameters and the useoffloor or ceil as functionsto round off dimensions. Try to see what help says about floor or ceil, or maybe is another function....

This actualy came to me soon after I re-reposted. Let's say we want to round N to the 100s.


N= Floor( N/100 ) * 100


so,
N=2631.795 becomes N=2600

Obviously the same can be done with ceil if you want to round up instead of down.
To change the rounding place, just adjust the power of 10 accrodingly (10 rounds to the 10s etc.)
