Mathcad Prime 2.0 - explicit function, too many digits

Hello everyone!

My name is Jens, and I'm from Denmark.

I've recently changed from Mathcad 14 to Mathcad Prime 2.0. Everything is wonderful, but there is a problem with my calculations, when using the explicit function. The calculation shows up with too many digits (15), and I do know about the float function, however this is not a possible solution for me. Is there any chance that someone could help me, reducing these digits a bit?

I've attached a picture with my problem

I tried it and achieve the attached results.

Can you include your worksheet?

The same here. Maybe Jens is using a different maintainance release of Prime 2.

Mine is the current M010.

But that all doesn't change the basic problem. We could apply the formatting of numeric results to symbolic results in Mathcad 15 and below, but we don't have an formatting options for symbolic results in Prime.

Unfortunately there is no formatting for symbolic results implemented in Prime. Haven't heard of an improvemen in that respect in P3 either. Maybe you changed too soon from MC14 to Prime.

The float modifier would affect the total precision of your calculation and also gives sometimes different results if used with explicit (esp. the magnitude of a complex number as in your case).

BTW, your first eval looks differently if I try to reproduce.
