Supress decimal tool diameter

nubrandao — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 11:59:15 GMT

Hi, i build a macro to rename tool, diameter and radious, but Im limite to 50 caracteres to input tool ID, so ir a tool hás 16mm, when i rename tool it writes 16.0 , same for radious.

I use Round(($tol.diameter), 0) and stil shows 16.0

Its works other way, like 16.2345mm if i changed to 4

Is something missing?

you need to cast it to an int, then no decimals are shown:

int $roundedDiameter = int($tool.Diameter) //shows 16 message info $roundedDiameter //shows 16.0 message info $tool.Diameter

I dont know whats your goal is but i think this could also help:

real $dia = 16.123 string $diameterForOutput = '' if $dia % 1 == 0 { $diameterForOutput = int($dia) } else { $diameterForOutput = $dia } message info $diameterForOutput

here if variable $dia is something like 16,123 it shows 16,123 if its just 16 it shows 16 and not 16,0
