extend the display of a value past the thousandth decimal place?

[dwalden74]

hmm. there doesn´t seem to be a preference for this for the main Maya UI, but I actually didn´t look very hard. Would be useful...

However, in scripted UI elements that display scalar values you can control the amout of precision shown in value fields.

Try this:

window;
formLayout form;
channelBox -precision 10 dave;
formLayout -e
-af dave "top" 0
-af dave "left" 0
-af dave "right" 0
-af dave "bottom" 0
form;
showWindow;


This was taken from the `channelBox` command online docs. I added the "-precision" flag call. Check out the UI creation online docs for more.

Additionally, the `getAttr` command will return more than 3 decimal places, depending on the value.

...so following my previous logic:

channelBox -e -pre 10 mainChannelBox;


it´s late. I´m tired.

Actualy there is a way to change it with the UI.
In the top of the channelbox there is a menu called "Channels", where you can do it.
Channels > Settings > Change Presision...
