From your output, I assume that you’ve changed the format statement 2

 

Was this in the original MPFAN.PST ->

fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place

fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place

 

And you now have something like this? ->

fs2 2 0 4 03t #No Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place, trailing zeros

fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place

 

To affect the output of the I,J,K address, you’ll need to change the format statement 3, like this ->

fs2 2 0 4 0 3t #No Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place, trailing zeros

fs2 3 0 4 0 3td #No Decimal, delta, 4/3 place, trailing zeros

Thank you very much Roger!

it works !

i was trying to change like this:

fmt I 3 i #Arc center description in X

fmt J 3 j #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 3 k #Arc center description in Z

to:

fmt I 2 i #Arc center description in X

fmt J 2 j #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 2 k #Arc center description in Z

but it does not work, i don't know why?

Anyway it is now working perfect! Again, thank you for your quick reply!
