Numeric Format Problem

[Jim O]

I am in the process of converting to Version 11 and discovered a problem with the numeric format of certain dimensions. I am taking a value from a worksheet and want that value to display on a drawing.

The format I want is: 10'10 3/4"

But, I am getting: 10'10.75"

To demonstrate this problem I wrote a simple program to show what is happening and attached it to this e-mail. Bring it up in VectorWorks 11 and under the Test VectorScript pallette run Script-1.

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? This was not a problem in our previous version.

Also, the VectorScript reference manual refers to a number of functions that became obsolete in version 9. Our programs use several of these functions such as LoadCell, GetCellNum, GetCellStr. The programs appear to work, except for the above problem. The reference manual does not say what to use to replace these functions. Is there anything on-line that says what to use in place of the obsolete functions?

Thanks for your help.
