Accessing catalogue data for GLAB

Hello all,

Is there a way in Draft to access nested data for GLAB?

If I create a GLAB that is pointing to a branch, I can ask in command line (on GLAB level)

q :MATNUMBER of matxt of hstube of ddname

and I will get an answer :MATNUMBER 1.0345

But, if I modify the GLAB Btext to

btext '#:MATNUMBER

You can try:

Btext '#:matnum

Try it with a texp, I think you do a little more complex coding with them

nevermind same error

Wait I did it, I got nested info. I got a name of spref from the equip, I use texp and this code.

Btext |#spec

Corrado,

As always, thank you very much for your input! I'll try it as soon as possible.

Another quick question - with introduction of PDMS 12.1.1., a lot of numerical data (E.G. stress values) started showing up with a lot of precision - for example 23.347624 - how to round up this value to two digits, for example? Can you tell me the method in Draft, and how to get it also through PML2 programming in my scripts and macros?

[QUOTE=corrado;69619]You can try:

Btext '#:matnum

It will be on User Dimensions Layer stand on layer level and make q pcode

This will give the settings.

Modify-->Layer Attributes-->Precision

set Metric to 1 OR 2 based on precision level
