dropping "0"

Here's a snippet:

Command: (rtos 1.0000 2 3)
"1"

Why won't rtos return trailing 0s? Or will it if I set something somewhere?

For now the following kluge:

Command: (vl-string-right-trim "1" (rtos(+ 1 0.0001) 2 4))
"1.000"

Which is pretty ugly but it works.

check dimzin?

nope, sorry
(defun test()
(print(rtos 1.0000 2 3))
(setvar "dimzin" 0)
(print (rtos 1.0000 2 3))
(setvar "dimzin" 1)
(print(rtos 1.0000 2 3))
(setvar "dimzin" 2)
(print(rtos 1.0000 2 3))
)

$ (TEST)

"1.000"
"1.000"
"1.000"
"1.000" "1.000"
_$

so it's something else
....hmmm...

 

weird...
I remember seeing posts recently about trailing zeros and what had stuck in
memory was dimzin
now I can't get dimzin or luprec or lunits to eliminate trailing zeros from
rtos
???
must be in there somewhere

 

if its set to 8 or more it will drop the trailing zeros

Right you are. Help for dimzin also says that it affects rtos and angtos. So now
I have to save, change and restore dimzin. (Since I don't want trailing 0s in
dimensions.)
