Increasing precision in spline information output window

I have received a cam profile from a supplier and we're trying to determine the exact point profile that was used to create the spline that made the cam lobe.

When I go to Information -> Spline -> Spline Analysis and pick the knot points and defining points and then select Complete to get the entire output of information, I don't see any options for the format of the output.

When the information window comes up, the precision of the data is to five decimal places. When we analyze the data, it seems that there are some approximations that we have to make in order for the data to fit the normal incrementing of the point definition. We would like to increase the precision of the data points to something higher to try to get the exact position of the spline points that was used to create the profile, but I can't find anything in any of the menus that allows this precision to be changed. Is there a way to increase this?

We are running UG NX 1.0.3.2 on a Windows 2000 machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bob Hoffman
 
Preferences->User interface... then specify 'listing window decimal places'.
