Coordinates and insertion points

[anch2304]

The coordinates in the drawings are shown differently (look at the pictures). Do you know why? How can I change the properties for the coordinates?

The difference in the coordinates has to do with the large numbers (coordinate values).

The larger numbers are 'simplified' to show the E+09 values. So the Coordinates shown should be multiplied with 10^9.

(If this is the correct way to write it, is stands for 10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10=10.000.000.000)
It has to do with the need for precision (significant number) so with the larger number only the most important number is shown, the rest is shortened to the E value.

Hi,

Set the COORDS system variable to 0 for static display, 1 for dynamic display, or 2 for distance and angle display.

[10^9 is actually "only" 1,000,000,000, but nevertheless....]

My question for @anch2304 :  Do you need to be working that far from the drawing origin?  At some degree of hugeness that will start to cause other problems than just the scientific-notation coordinates display.
