Marker precision
« on: February 22, 2022, 09:21:36 PM »
I've noticed in MS, when I add markers or cameras that have precision more than 6 decimal places, MS abbreviates that value.  Is there a setting or tweak to show the actual values?

Also, if I "Export Reference" file, it only exports the abbreviated values and not the actual values. Again, abbreviated to 6 decimal places. 

How can we be confident that MS is actually using precise values?

Thank you!

Hi Alexey,

Can I please get a comment on why MS rounds coordinate precision to 6 decimal places which isn't actually very precise?  If I double click on a coordinate, it does show higher precision, so I am assuming it is actually using that precision.
But, if I export the markers, the precision is lost.

Hi Dave,

if you are using Export Reference you can set the number of decimals in Export CSV Window in Precision . In example I set it to 8 decimals instead of default 6....

Paulo,

Perfect.  Thank you, I missed that.   :-[
