Topic: Displaying full decimal answer

[Hangman]

Alright, this is a dumb question, but I'm feeling dumb today.
For the life of me, I can't remember how to set the display to show the full decimal answer.

I'm trying to get the answer to the following

Code: [Select]

(/ 20060425 16.0)

But this is what I'm getting.

Code: [Select]

1.25378e+006

When I'm suppose to be getting

Code: [Select]

1253776.625

How can I get the correct answer (the last entry shown) ??

[T.Willey]

Code: [Select]

(rtos (/ 20060425 16.0) 2 16)


[Andrea]

Code: [Select]

(rtos (/ 20060425 16.0) 2 16)


but...
RTOS = Converts a number into a string

For what purpose are you trying to display it?

If it is merely for calculations, the answer returned IS correct, it is just shown in a different format.

If it is to display in the drawing editor or in Text/Mtext object then Tim's solution is what you need.

It's also worth mentioning that the system variable "DimZin" has a bearing upon the returned RTOS format.
