Can anyone help me figure out how to get the output of the posted file to be 5 decimal places?

 

So far I've set the MC config system chaining tolerance out and have tweeked the post in the general vtol settings as shown below but all I get is 4 places not 5:

 

General Output Settings

Sorry if it's a simple question but I'm stuck with this and for whatever reason it's kicking me butt.

 

Thanks

Brad,

I was thinking about you the other day. How is Oksana? It's been about a year hasn't it?

 

What is it you are trying to output to 5 places?

I think you will need to change the format for that variable.

 

Look for this in your post

fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place

 

 

fmt X 13 xabs #X position output

Changed like this, X will output 5 places.

Thanks John! I'm flattered and honored you were thinking of us. Yes it'll be a year in April (20th) and things are going great. She's fitting in very well and doing great. Nothing really startling other than the occasional pre-teen kid stuff that some removal of priviledges doesn't seem to cure =)

 

On another note the MN attorney general's office is currently investigating the agency for a various number of reasons along with the department of human services. Myself and several other families couldn't take it any longer as we helped other families struggle and listen to this place threaten to halt their adoptions for various reasons which were truly unjustified or unfounded.

I plan on posting in the off topic side here someday to fill in and thank everybody for their prayers and support while we went through it.

 

Thanks for the input on the post John!!

 

Best regards

Brad
