How to ensure that the output coordinates retain 2 decimal places

[Simona]

Now I want to write a locatable object' location to the output window.

The program showed as below:

TxTransformation loc = aObject.AbsoluteLocation;
TxMessageBox.Show(loc.Translation.ToString()) ;

The output for this program is:

-2671.994, -909.414, 0

How can I get the result such as :-2671.99,-909.41,0.00

Appreciate for any reply，Thanks !

var vector = loc.Translation;
TxMessageBox.Show(vector.X.ToString("##.00") + ", " +
vector.Y.ToString("##.00") + ", " +
vector.Z.ToString("##.00"));

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I found that  "ToString("0.00") " is better.

Hi Simona,

You can also use ToString(2), TxVector exposes a method string ToString(int precision).
