Our engineering manager asked me recently if we could change decimal place of certain characteristics on the report to either 3 places or 4 places, but not necessarily have the entire report be one or the other. Like some characteristics would be three places and some might be four places. So I told him that we can certainly do that. Then he asked if when we changed a characteristic from 4 places down to 3 places, does it round or truncate? I told him that I think that it rounds, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any insight into this?
It may appear to truncate it, but it does not. +/-0.1mm on a 10mm nominal with a deviation of 0.10001 will show a deviation of 0.100, but it will still show OOT. decimal places will NOT hide OOT for values no longer displayed.
