post to 5 decimal places

[cwelter]

I would like to set up the generic mpfan.pst to post out to 5 decimal places. How is this done?

 

Thanks

at your mpfan.pst, search "fs2".

 

fs2 2 0.4 0.3

 

change to

 

fs2 2 0.4 0.5

That will come out will 5 decimal.

Thanks Cheong,

 

I did what you showed. but It didnt do it, I had to change it to fs2 2 0.5 0.5 and I only got 5 places on the values that actually ran out that far. The post dropped all trailling zero's.

but this will work for what I'm doing.

Thanks for the reply.

fs2 2 0.4 0.5

 

The 0.4 is the format used for INCH

The 0.5 is the format used for METRIC

 

If you want trailing zeros, you would make it ->

 

fs2 2 0.4 0.5t

 

Added the 't' to preserve trailing zeros.
