Re: Prompt Line Default Value

[tkat@tkat.com]

The default value for the prompt line seems to be 2 decimal.

This is very unfriendly to small design work done in inches. I need to
have 3 decimal accuracy at a minimum. 5/8" is 0.625" NOT 0.62"

The 2 work-arounds I have found are either:

a. re-enter the value for multiples of the same item [circles at
points, &c.]
b.select the previous value from the pop-up menu located lower right.

Both are tedious and promote mistrakes.

How can I change the default value to 3 decimals?

Tkat - from the options menu, choose Display...

In the Elements tab, set the Input line text box value to 3. Probably
good to do the same for the Coordinate display value so measurements
in the Info pallete show your desired resolution too.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I get the feeling the 50 other folk on this list know even less than
me (and I only know what I've picked up from rummaging around) or one
of them might have beaten me to it.

Or maybe they know everything and are just sitting back silently
laughing at you and me struggling with the basics ....

Scheech!!. You & Lemke are the only ones that ever respond. And he
hasn't come up w/ an answer to my off-set arc question yet.

Only wish I had time to do some more bash'n thru it. But ptr
[pay-the-rent] work comes 1st.

Certainly no silent laughing on my part.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I've been extraordinarily busy and
haven't actually been using CADintosh for much in awhile.

That, and I'm still waiting for friends of mine at the UN to translate
your voluminous posts into English. They're still waiting on a reply
from the codebreakers at NSA, though. 8^)

I just got back last night from 'Bama. I might have better luck with
the "Southern".

Jon - understood. I occasionally use other applications beside
CADintosh and even have a life outside my Mac .... check my website
for proof!
