    Default Find & replace

    Good morning all,
    I'm trying to add a 0 (zero) at the end of about a 100 attribute values so that they read for example RL 4.940 instead of RL 4.94. I tried by using an asterisks as wildcards but that didn't work. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.
    Kay.

    export to a table, and set the numerical to have three numbers after the decimal point, or change the units to three decimal places, instead of two. However if you need all the attributes changed then you will have to re-define them to three decimal places, with the ATTEDIT command.

    Change the name of your attribute & precision with the block editor then ATTSYNC

    I'm not sure what you are saying here.... attribute definitions do not have either a Name property, or a Precision property.

    Change the attribute tag & precision of the field's value

    OK, if the source for the attribute value is a field. But nothing in the OP suggested that fields were involved.

    For non-fields derived Attribs, the Export Attribute Information and Import Attribute Information from ExpressTools are probably the easiest route.

    Cadtag, didn't know about that, but have now done it - took about 2 minutes. It was easy using the down arrow key and pasting the 0 at the end. Thanks!
