Tables and zeros
Tables and zeros
(OP)
I am using 'eattext' to extract block information to autocad tables. I am however struggling to display information to the decimal places I want.
In properties if I write 184 (z value) it displays 184 and the same in a table - I want 184.000 because as the other values are also to 3 decimal places.
Can you help me to force the decimal places?

RE: Tables and zeros
which file do You create. *.csv?
"eattext" suppresses the zeros, so I would change the places in Excel...

I presume there isnt a way to stop autocad suppressing the zero (or a significant figure setting).

Thank you, thank you and thank you. BUT, why.
Could you explain what the variables are and more importantly does anybody have an up to date list of system variables with definitions and possible settings (I used to have one which was invaluable, but lost it - the very detailed one with 50 or so pages).
Thanks again.
Cheers. Sean.
RE: Tables and zeros
Here's a place to get the list:
http://www.afralisp.net/lisp/acadvar.htm
----------------------------------------------
DIMZIN DDIM
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 0
Controls the suppression of zeros in the primary unit value. DIMZIN stores this value when you enter it on the command line or set it under Primary Units in the Annotation dialog box. DIMZIN values 0–3 affect feet-and-inch dimensions only.
0 Suppresses zero feet and precisely zero inches
1 Includes zero feet and precisely zero inches
2 Includes zero feet and suppresses zero inches
3 Includes zero inches and suppresses zero feet
4 Suppresses leading zeros in decimal dimensions (for example, 0.5000 becomes .5000)
8 Suppresses trailing zeros in decimal dimensions (for example, 12.5000 becomes 12.5)
12 Suppresses both leading and trailing zeros (for example, 0.5000 becomes .5)
DIMZIN also affects real-to-string conversions performed by the AutoLISP rtos and angtos functions.

(I really don't like Eng-Tips "Auto Star", after you get one in a thread you can't get rid of it) :)
