Real Number Attribute to string

[hdasilva]

Hello,

I need to convert a real number attribute to a string attribute rounded with 3 decimal places.

Example:

2.0000000000000E-2, on attribute "UNDERSIZE1"

Should be displayed on a new attribute with a value of: 0.002

How can I do this? I cannot make this change on Creo, I need to make it on Windchill, maybe using a calculated attribute with a formula?

Thanks!

Hi @hdasilva 

Use DataUtility customization and format the realnumber to string 

String format = "%.3f %s";
component.setValue(String.format(format, massDouble, unitString));

OOTB ,this can be done with calculated attributes fucntions,yoy can use bround() for decimal precision and str() to convert to string
