SUMMARY: Point file .pts import truncating accuracy

SUMMARY: Point file .pts import truncating accuracy

Sorry, should have said Creo 2.

I received this answer off-list:


"Not sure what release your using: If it's Creo 2.0 try this config option: default_dec_places

Setting Range is (0 - 13)"



Sure enough, changing this from 3 to 6 caused .pts values to be imported at their full accuracy of (wait for it) 8 or 9 decimal places (depending on total number of digits - actually 10 sig fig). Go figure....



I also had this reply on Planet PTC:



"Check that in your config.pro the following setting is set:

default_dim_num_digits yes

On Creo 2.0 M100, I tested that when I changed it to read:

default_dim_num_digits no

the system then started truncating the .pts imported dimensions to 3 decimal places (the value of default_dec_places setting)"

I haven't tested this but assuming it works, it sounds more useful than just increasing dp everywhere (which I'm sure we didn't do when this worked properly some years ago).

Thanks all!

Jonathan
