Don't know if this the right or best way to do this.
I want the result to show in a dcl and it shows decimals.
How can  I oppress the decimal places?


LSP

Code: [Select]

(setq aperture (rtos(getvar "aperture")))
(set_tile "aperture" aperture)

DCL

Code: [Select]

:text{key = "aperture" ;width = 20;}


[CAB]

To suppress the decimal places use this

Code: [Select]

(setq aperture (rtos(getvar "aperture") 2 0))

Also study the DIMZIN variable.

Controls the suppression of zeros in the primary unit value. DIMZIN stores this value when you enter it on the command line or set it under Primary Units in the Annotation dialog box. DIMZIN values 0-3 affect feet-and-inch dimensions only.

as aperture must be an integer between 1 and 50, why not use ITOA?

(SET_TILE "XXX" (ITOA (GETVAR "APERTURE")))

Yes that's the correct way.
