    Stringer connect rounding settings

    Hello,

     

    I have used stringer connect in the past and it seemed that my traverse shots (which went to four decimal places 0.0000) that were in my raw file were converted to a fbk file and it held the decimal places.  Now when I use it, the program rounds my shots to three decimal places (0.000) which changes the locations just slightly.  I don't think I changed any settings deliberately.  How can I get my four decimal places back?

     

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I'm actually looking for the rounding settings for the Stringer Connect program.  I realize my question is a little out of place, this being a Civil 3D discussion group.  But I can't seem to find an answer anywhere and I know some people who frequent this discussion group also use Stringer Connect.  So I thought I'd give it a shot.

     

    Thanks!

    Which version are you using?

     

    I'm not sure if there is a program or part there of to set the decimal places in stringer connect.

     

    There is a file called numeric.dat which stores the settings used by stringer connect located either here

     

    C:\ProgramData\CADApps\Stringer 2011

     

    or

     

    C:\ProgramData\CSS\Stringer 2012

     

    or

     

    C:\ProgramData\CSS\Stringer 2013

     

    Open the file numeric.dat in notepad and change the number on the first line from 3 to 4. This is the number that controls the decimal places.
