    Question Control Field Precision

    I would like to adjust the precision in this field. See attached.
    I read some where in this forum that I could edit the AcFields.fdc file but I could not figure out how to do what I wanted.
    I would like the display to read 696'-4" I do not want to see the fraction.

    do you know if that is affected by your UNITS? what the 'precision' is set to there?
