Change Sig Figs in Result Annotations

[andrewdroth]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the significant figures (decimal places) of Results annotations.

For example, if I show max/min values with the \M and \m tags the show up with three decimal places by default and I'd like to change it to 3 sig figs.

I am not aware of any controls that lets the user adjust the numbers in the annotations. I think there is no control for true significant digits where a value of 123456.7 to 2 significant digits would be 120000, and to 4 significant digits would be 123500.

The number of decimal places can be controlled in the legend (Results Contours > Settings > Legend Properties > Legend Properties) and for probes (Results Contours > Settings > Legend Properties > Probe Settings). Looks like both of those have some intelligence to preserve the number of significant digits for really small numbers. So a value of 0.123456 to 2 decimal places would be 0.12, but a value of 0.00123456 to "2 decimal places" would be 1.23E-3.

Yeah,

Having the same decimal control in the annotations would also be handy. Or even have decimal setting linked instead of two different settings.

And I can also understand why sig fig settings might be a bad idea.
