Hi all,
I use Autodesk Map 3D 2005, but this topic is also related to Autocad 2005.
I have an Access database records linked to several objects in the drawing. Then I have inserted same labels. Labels show records from db in the drawing. Record fields are real numbers (single in Access). I would like to draw only one decimal but labels show much more (about 9). How can I format labels to show just one decimal?
Thanks
bruno

This is a MAP issue rather than pure AutoCAD, which is why I have moved it to this forum.

I have to admit that I don't know the answer to this but it seems logical that AutoCAD would display the data just as it appears in the database. I suggest formatting the Access database field to show the number of decimal places you want and see if that helps.
