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?
The displayed value is rounded however to Matthew's point, the system will flag a value that has trailing data that is out of tolerance.
So .5996 when set for display precision of 3 will show .600. If .600 is the min shown on the print it will be a red value.
To truncate the data you would have to pass all the information through variables and then output through generic features. In this case, your report would show .599 and be red.
