replace by instance, digits

Hi all,


Does anyone know if it's possible to change the number of digits displayed/used by ProE when searching an instance in the replace by family table member dialog box?


replace>replace by :family table>open>tree>search


For example, say you have a screw family table with many different sizes and want to search for those having a length of 5/16". In the "value" column, if you ProE behaves like mine, you'll see values like 0.125, 0.156, ..., 0.312, etc. You select 0.312 and it returns no result, even though the value was in the column so there should be an instance with that length. The problem is that ProE really searches for lengths of 0.312" while the instances have a length of 0.3125".


Anyone aware of an option to change the number of digits used in that command?


Thanks,


Mat
 
Don't know if it works but you can give it a tryby changing in your config.pro the "default_dec_places" into 4.
