lupin Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Does anyone know how to disable scientific notation? When I specify a dimension greater than 9999, VW defaults to scientific notation, i.e.: 10,000 is displayed as 1e04. It makes it hard to read. I can't seem to find a fix. Any help appreciated!

lupin Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think it depends on my document setting > units > decimal precision being set high. Reducing the decimal precision doesn't seem to update my existing stake objects' notation style, but new stake objects are made without scientific notation. Quote Link to comment
lupin Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 ... and the stake objects change to non-scientific notation if I change their class... Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 17, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 17, 2016 Stake Objects (As well as Dimensions and maybe a few others) have their own precision setting, they take the value from this setting from Document Settings upon their creation, but then retain that value even if rounding precision for the document is altered. If you select the Stake and set its Elevation Units to Document Units it should update, but it may currently be set to Inches or another specified value with its own custom "Elevation Prec" value. You should be able to select all stakes with Select Similar and then alter this to fix it in one action. Quote Link to comment
