Hello,

 

If I checkin a CAD document which have designated parameter linked to a dimension <1mm, for example Ø0.202mm, in Windchill dimension is not displaying very user friendly.

When I consult attributes in the detail page of that CAD document, it's indicated in scientific format :

Ø2.0200E-1

Please see the print screen below.

 

Is it possible to change format of real number to displays the same format than creo ?

=> 0.202 not 2.02E-1 

 

Regards,

Arnaud

Because of the exception "Real value attributes on EPMDocuments and related WTParts are always displayed with full precision (up to 14 significant digits)", until now, I have never tried to set : IGNORE_PRECISION_ENABLED=true.

 

I've just tried just for see. This change corrected the problem even with cad documents synchronized to article :
[printscreen 1]

 

I understand better the exception above. If dimension of CADdoc is composed of 14 digits, even if the dimension is rounded at 3 decimal places, WT display the nominal without rounding ("full precision").

 

Creo side :

[printscreen 2]

 

WT side :

[printscreen 3]

 

Thanks for your help.

Set com.ptc.core.meta.common.NumericToolkit.IGNORE_PRECISION_ENABLED to true.

    As I remember the property will only work for normal WTPart or other manual entered real numbers. If you synchronize them from Creo to Windchill and also WTPart, the property doesn't work.

     

    See also in the case:
