set decimal places for the length measure 2

[BABUGOUDA]

Hello,
I am measuring length between two points and length= 0.6789 mm. i need decimals to be round off to two places i.e 0.68mm
I tried with setting preference-- user interface preferences -- displayed decimal places it worked for information window and showed in the notepad as 0.68mm but displayed as 0.6789mm on NX screen
I am using NX8..
Please can any body help me?
Thx

You can create a new variable to output the desired truncated value:

truncated_value=(round(value*100))/100

The "100" value can be replaced by any multiple of ten to control the number of decimal points.

In the user interface preferences, change the displayed decimal places -> dialog box option.

If it doesn't work for you, you may want to take it up with technical support.

I started a new file and created a line then copied it in the X direction by 9.87654321mm. Below are the results I get:

Dialog box displayed decimal places = 2

Dialog box displayed decimal places = 4

After you do the 'measure' but before you close the dialog, go to the section of the dialog labeled 'Results Display' and set the 'Annotation' option to 'Show Dimension' and then hit OK. The 'measurement' will now be displayed using the proper number of decimal places as set in' the 'Dialog Box' option in Preferences.

Note that the 'measurement' will remain visible until you do a display 'Refresh'.
