3.2.5 Number Field
Editing is started by first selecting the number field. Pressing either a number or the space bar
will start to change the number shown. This edit mode is indicated by a yellow background.
Pressing the return key commits the new value. Pressing the escape key, or clicking outside of the
field, will cancel any changes made.
The number field always shows one digit to the left of the decimal point, and four to the right (or
three in metric mode), e.g., zero appears as “0.0000.” Typing digits without entering a decimal
point causes the entered digits to shift in from the right (“0.0001,” then “0.0012,” then “0.0123,”
etc.). When the decimal key is pressed, the previously entered digits will jump to the left of the
decimal, leaving four zeros to the right.
The minus key acts like the change-sign key on a calculator. No matter when it is pressed, it
always changes the sign of the current number.
Whenever the decimal key is pressed, a decimal is placed at the current insertion point. Any pre-
vious decimal disappears. If the decimal is pressed accidentally, pressing backspace will restore
the previous one. In cases where an entered value is invalid (for example, if it’s out of some spec-
ified range) an error message will be shown once Enter is pressed.
Some instances of number fields can be found on the Tools: Offsets and Setup: Workshift screens.
The following examples demonstrate the behavior of the number field.
