Only 6 digits are displayed in Move/Stretch options menu

Kevin Li

For example, when I input value lager than 6 digits, for example 1000.055,

it will turn to 1000.05 if I click outside the column, but the actual value is entered as what I actually input (from CIW).

What's even stranger is that sometimes it can correctly show more than 6 digits, and sometimes it can't.

Although It doesn't affect the values being entered correctly, but the inconsistent display on the menu is a bit annoying to me.

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug or if I need to change some settings?

    Hi Andrew,

    I tried, but it doesn't work.

    This time even the values shown to be input in the CIW are rounded off.

    The design environment I am using is 6.1.8-64b.500.17

    If I input 1000.02567 in the GUI column, it will turn to 1000.03.

    Is it possible to modify the skill of F3 option menu?

    I think I must have changed something else when I tried this, because it's not working for me either now (just by stretching the form).

    This is entirely a display issue though, You can increase the number of digits displayed in float fields on forms with this cdsenv setting:

    ui defaultFloatFieldFormat string   "%.9g"

    or from SKILL:

    envSetVal("ui" "defaultFloatFieldFormat" 'string   "%.9g")

    the default is "%.6g" - i.e. 6 digits of precision.

    The behaviour you're seeing in the CIW is because display of floating point numbers uses 7 digits of precision by default. You can increase that by using sstatus(fullPrecision t) . Again, it's only for displaying return values in the CIW - the default print representation is limited rather than using the full double-precision floating point representation.

    There's no need to modify the SKILL of the F3 option "menu" (it's a form, not a menu).
