Units Associated to Design Limits
The current unit along with its symbol is displayed for each magnitude parameter in a specific range:
- Normal range
- Lets you select a unit from the list for
each magnitude type parameter in normal range mode.
By default, this check box is selected.
- Small range
- Lets you select a unit from the list for each magnitude type parameter in small range mode.
- Large range
- Lets you select a unit from the list for each magnitude type parameter in large range mode.
- Extra Large range
- Lets you select a unit from the list for each magnitude type parameter in extra large range mode.
Notes:
- The symbol associated to the unit is updated accordingly. Any modification to the current unit and its symbol for a single magnitude parameter is automatically reflected in dialog boxes where it is used.
- Changing units does not modify the design limits. For example, in normal range 10e-6 m < Length < 10e+3 m, regardless the unit set.
General Dimensions Display
This option is available only if the XML configuration setting is specified.
| Warning: These settings will not be taken into account if the computed value is comprised between -0.5 and +0.5. |
- Display trailing zeros
- If checked, enables you to display trailing zeros.
- Exponential notation for values greater than 10e+
- Enables you to define the upper limit for using an exponential
notation.
By default, this option is set to 6.
- Exponential notation for values lower than 10e-
- Enables you to define the lower limit for using an exponential
notation.
By default, this option is set to 6.
Specific Dimensions Display
- Same display for read/write numbers and read-only numbers
- If checked, both read-write and read-only
numbers will have the same display.
Important: If you specify a number of decimal places greater than 8 the computed value will not be rounded-up. By default, this check box is selected. - Decimal places for read-write numbers
- Enables you to define the number of decimal places to display
for read-write numbers.
By default, this option is set to 3.
- Decimal places for read-only numbers
- Enables you to define the number of decimal places to display
for read-only numbers.
By default, this option is set to 3.
Filtering Units
You can quickly locate the magnitude table by filtering according to magnitude, unit, or symbol names.
- Filter Properties
- Filters by all or a portion of the unit display name.
- Magnitudes
- Click Magnitudes to filter your entry by magnitudes.
- Units
- Click Units to filter your entry by units.
- Symbols
- Click Symbols to filter your entry by symbols.
Note:
A list of potential matches is automatically displayed for you to directly select
the magnitudes, units, or symbols you want.
