How to get the correct coordinate of a path when i use bindkey 'q' && use car(geGetSelSet())~>points ?

Hi All ,

I draw a  hori path which  coordinate Points  =  (10099.045  122.01) (10103.915  122.01)   when i use 'Edit Path Properties' to display

But when i use car(geGetSelSet())~>points , in CIW , it returns ((10099.05  122.01) (10103.92 122.01))

when i use the points to do something , it gets wrong result.

But when the path moved to  (9737.795  122.01) (9746.925  122.01) => the result is correct.

It seems the points will be truncate or round when path at large coordinate .....

Thank you,

Charley

    Charley,

    The database itself has the full precision - it's just the default print representation in the CIW that is limited to 7 significant digits. You can use the fullPrecision switch to change the default display to using 14 digits:

    > 12345.123
    12345.12
    > a=12345.123
    12345.12
    > a-12345.12
    0.003
    > sstatus(fullPrecision t)
    t
    > a
    12345.123

    Regards,

    Andrew
