Text Style (Rounding)

Description

Edit the rounding and truncation settings for a Bearing, Distance, Area, Offset, Grade or Combined text style.

Access

Manage / Configuration / Text / Styles / Bearing or Distance or Area or Grade or Offset / Insert a new item or Edit selected item / Rounding
Manage / Configuration / Text / Styles / Combined / Insert a new item or Edit selected item / Browse / Rounding

Controls

Available controls are dependent upon the text style being edited.

Control Description
Distance Below Type a distance value (in the project units) below which the Round To and Truncate settings apply.
Area Below Type an area value (in the project units) below which the Round To, Truncate and Unit settings apply.
Grade Below Type a grade value below which the Round To and Truncate settings apply.
Round To Select the rounding option.
Truncate Select one of the following truncation options:
  • None - Apply rounding only.
  • Trailing Zeros - Remove trailing zeros from the rounded number.
  • Decimal Point - Remove the decimal point and trailing zeros if the only digits following the decimal point are zeros.
  • Both - Remove trailing zeros, then if there are no remaining numbers after the decimal point, remove the decimal point.
Unit For area text, select the units to use to output the text.
Note:
  • By default text is output in the Unit configured in the General tab.
Notes
  • The length of the line is used to truncate and round bearings.
  • Truncation is applied to the rounded number.
  • Input the Grade Below value for an Angle grade type with units Degrees Decimal Minutes in minutes.
  • Input the Grade Below value as an absolute grade.
Example

The following are examples of the resulting text when the different Truncate options are used with distances, areas or grades (Ratio or Percentage).

Truncate Example 1 Example 2
None 123.400 321.000
Trailing Zeros 123.4 321.
Decimal Point 123.400 321
Both 123.4 321

The following are examples of the resulting text when the different Truncate options are used with bearings or angular grades.
