The following message appears when importing a model from PCF translator:
---------------------------Confirm---------------------------Large coordinate >1.0E+6 are detected in the PCF file. We recommendthat you shift first point to origin in the model. Do you want to shift firstpoint to origin?---------------------------Yes No Cancel ---------------------------
What should I do?
Suggest to answer Yes to this dialog. Because, AutoPIPE's database can only store coordinate values to a certain precision. IF the coordinate values go above a certain point the program truncates the displayed value by using Engineering Exponent notation. The precise number is stored by the application, however that precise number cannot be displayed or reported in the limited space of the dialog / report.
