AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

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.

Check your precision settings in the Survey database.

On the Survey tab of Toolspace, right click the Survey database, select Edit Survey Database Settings.

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.
