You can control how many decimal places are displayed for different data types like coordinates, elevations, angles, areas, target heights, stations, volume and distances. When TPC displays an area in a dialog or a view, it uses your decimal settings to determine how many decimal places to display.
As a general rule, numbers are rounded up or down to the nearest decimal place. Changing the decimal places does not change the actual number it displays - it just rounds the number off to the specified number of decimal places.
One exception to this rule is when you specify a precision in a traverse.
You set the global decimal places in the Decimals dialog.
In a drawing, you have direct control over decimal places used to display distances and elevations through the Traverse Settings for each traverse in a drawing and Surface Settings for each surface.
