Currently, the precision is "0 mm" = no decimals when define the mapping rules for object names. The values are rounded to the nearest integer millimeter.
For example, all plates with the thickness between "11.50 mm" and "12.49 mm" will use the mapping rule for the thickness "12 mm".
The limitation is that you cannot distinguish between plates with the thickness within this interval.
So you cannot create different mapping rules for "gauge thickness":
- 10ga = 3.416 mm
- 11ga = 3.038 mm
- 12ga = 2.657 mm
The feature request is to be able to specify / use a different precision in the mapping rules.
One idea could be to be able to set the precision in the "internal name" rules.
For example, the rule for plates:
PL%Thicknessx%Width --> could be PL%[.000]Thicknessx%Width
In this case, the plates thickness will be read with 3 decimals.
So I will be able to have different mapping rules for 10ga and 12ga plates, to use them in drawings and BOMs.
Of course, the same principle could be used for all available tokens for mapping rules.
Thank you
