Round number to certain number of digits 1

[abeschneider]

Is it possible to round numbers to a specific number of digits?

ie round(19.0475, 2) = 19.05

Can't seem to figure out how to accomplish anything but:
round(19.0475) = 19

Thanks!

In what context? Are we talking about when making a drawing or when creating expressions?

John,
When creating expressions.
Thanks.

Given the following:

X = the original number you wish to round

XR = the result after rounding

places = represents the number of places that you wish to round to, using the following scheme:

1 decimal place = 10
2 decimal places = 100
3 decimal places = 1000
etc.

Also make sure that the places expression has a dimensionality of "Constant".

This then gives you a final expression of:

XR = round(X*places)/places

Of course you could replace the variable "places" in the above expression with the 10's, 100's, 1000's, etc. as needed.
