Guys,

I use interface in Carlson Civil for profile creation to generate alignment. I input Sta and ELEV. Interface computes slope with four significant digits after decimal. Where is the setting that controls the rounding of significant digits? Length under units is set to two decimal digits. See attached screen capture.
Thanks.

Try double clicking on the radio buttons at the top of the spread sheet. Many times that will open a Carlson pop-up that lets you change the settings. Or try double clicking on the table values for possibly setting row or column settings.

I checked with programming on this... I don't believe we have settings for the decimals in this spreadsheet control. If I find out otherwise, I'll post back here.

Thank you Ladd.
I spoke with tech support today and I was told that this issue will be addressed to programmers. Also, is there a possibility to label middle ordinate of vertical curve? Thanks.

Ladd, here are a couple suggestions to discuss while you are at it.

#1 Before the software ships, please configure the software defaults to settings that 90% of us all use. For example I do not know many surveyors/engineers that display the precision past 2 decimal places when using English units. All of the routines should be set up that way from the get go.

#2 Would it be easier for the user if there was a place under Carlson Configure, where we could control the display precision for ALL the routines? If not, perhaps every applicable routine could have a uniform looking tab or dropdown labeled "Display Precision". It would be consistent through out all of the routines so it would be easily recognized and we could instinctively skip over that part when checking the routine settings (after all we usually don't change these settings very often). Putting these settings in the same general location in every dialog box would help..I.e. the display precision is always at the top or always at the bottom.
