Editing Float Properties

Floating-point fields accept only digits and a period as separator; other characters are not accepted. How many digits you can type before and after the period is limited by the property configuration of the data model; the maximum input number is 16 digits before and 16 after the period.

If you type more digits than allowed, a tool-tip appears. When you click outside the field, all digits that exceed the allowed range are trimmed to the correct number of digits.

To edit a float property:

1. Click in the field to set it to edit mode.

2. Do one of the following:

   • To add digits, type the digits and the decimal point.

   • To change digits, highlight the digits and type new figures.

   • To delete digits, highlight the digits and press the Del or Backspace key.

   • To undo your input, press Ctrl+Z; to redo your input, press Ctrl+Y.

   • Press the Esc button. This discards your input and ends editing mode.

3. Click outside the property or press the Tab key.

4. To remove the value from the float property, click the X button that is shown at the right side when you hover thew mouse-pointer over of the field.

5. (only required if auto-save is disabled) Click the Save button to save your changes.
