Numeric Values and Formatting
If MinWidth is less than the overall width of the value, VectorWorks overrides the MinWidth so that the entire value is displayed (see also DecPlaces below). If MinWidth is greater than the overall length of the value, blank spaces will be appended to the beginning of the value.
For REAL data, DecPlaces allows control over the display of the number of decimal places in the value. DecPlaces works independently of the MinWidth format specifier.
If DecPlaces for a value is set to 2, two decimal places of accuracy will always be shown, overriding the MinWidth specifier if necessary. If the number of decimal places in the value exceeds the number of decimal places specified, the value will be rounded. For values other than REAL, DecPlaces will generate an error.
