Number of Decimal Places area
The Number of Decimal Places area controls the number of decimal places displayed in the Edit window and the inspection report.
Choose the desired option to determine the number of decimal places displayed.
Each time this is changed in a measurement routine, PC-DMIS places a command: DISPLAYPRECISION/ # into the measurement routine. This specifies the precision to be displayed at this section of the measurement routine. If this command is not used, then the default value is automatically used. If this command is used, the precision stays as specified unless changed by another instance of the command.
Millimeter measurement routines allow up to six decimal places.
Inch measurement routines allow up to seven decimal places.
For example, choosing 6 for an inch measurement routine and clicking OK inserts this command into the Edit window: DISPLAYPRECISION/6
This causes any dimensions listed below this command to be displayed with six decimal places, as illustrated in this Location dimension:
