/CFORMAT, NFIRST
, NLAST
Controls the graphical display of alphanumeric character strings
for parameters, components, assemblies, and tables.
NFIRST
Display the first n
characters
of the parameter, component, assembly, or table name, up to 32. Defaults to
32.
NLAST
Display the last n
characters of
the parameter, component, assembly, or table name, up to 32. Defaults to 0.
Use this command to control the length of the character string that is shown in the graphics window for a parameter, component, assembly, or table name.
The total number of characters (NFIRST
+ NLAST
+3)
cannot exceed 32.
If NFIRST
is greater than zero and NLAST
=
0, only the NFIRST
characters are displayed, followed
by an ellipsis.
If NFIRST
= 0 and NLAST
is
greater than zero, only the NLAST
characters are
displayed, preceded by an ellipsis (...).
If both NFIRST
and NLAST
are
greater than zero, the name will be shown as NFIRST
,
followed by an ellipsis (...), followed by NLAST
,
up to a maximum of 32 characters.
For example, if NFIRST
= 6 and NLAST
=
3, and the character string is LENGTHOFSIDEONE, then it will appear in the
graphics window as LENGTH...ONE.
If the actual length of the character string is less than the specified
combination of NFIRST
+ NLAST
+3,
then the actual string will be used.
This command is valid in any processor.
