Decimal separator (Review runs)

 

Review runs option to set the symbol used for decimals in numbers

 

There are several different customs for indicating the decimal part of a number:-

 

3020.0 (full stop or dot)

2440,0 (comma)

...

 

To set this for reports, at the Review runs screen:-

 

 Select: File - Global report settings

 Move to the setting

 

Set the value as a text symbol (for example ' . ' or ' , ') or enter the equivalent ASCII code (e.g. 44 for comma).

 

This separator is used for all decimal dimension fields (millimetres and decimal inches), percentages, areas, volumes and costs.

 

See the topic:  Global report settings

 

 

Notes

 

- Sometimes numbers are used in text boxes (for example, information boxes) these do NOT use this separator value. The separator used in these cases is the default separator set by Windows which typically depends on the settings for countries and regions.

 

- Pattern amendment does not use the Decimal separator or the Windows default separator and is set to a full stop.

 

- Valid ASCII (decimal) codes for separators for reports are 32-33, 35-47, 58-64, 91-96, 123-127
