[sc-issues] [Issue 103753] Engineering metric value format
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103753 --- Additional comments from lew_merr...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 28 14:58:58 + 2010 --- This is entirely different from issue 5930 which deals with limiting exponent values to multiples of 3 -- a "tradition" or "convention," but not actually part of a formal standard. The ISO and ANSI standards differentiate display formats for metric and non-metric (Imperial or American) values. Non-metric values use no leading zero for values between -1 and +1 and have a tolerance value assigned according to the number of decimal places used. Metric values use a leading zero for values between -1 and +1 and do not use trailing zeros. Tolerances are always assigned through other means. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

A format to allow this (with a specification for the maximum number of decimal places used) would bring OpenOffice into compliance with ISO and ANSI standards as they apply to engineering. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 103752] Numeric format for metric engineering values.

Component|Word processor Version|OOO310m11 Platform|All URL| OS/Version|All Status|UNCONFIRMED Status whiteboard| Keywords| Resolution| Issue type|ENHANCEMENT Priority|P3 Subcomponent|formatting Assigned to|writerneedsconfirm Reported by|lew_merrick --- Additional comments from lew_merr...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 23 19:13:45 + 2009 --- The standards for presentation of metric values in engineering require a format that would represent (A) leading zeros (for values between -1 and +1) and (B) no trailing zeros. I.E. if the number comes back as "1", it is displayed as "1". If the number comes back as ".12", it is displayed as "0.12". The way the standard is written, there is no limit as to the number of decimal places used by a value -- though, in practice, there would be. Therefore, an "Engineering Metric Value" format (we need a better descriptor than that) would have: (A) leading zero; (B) no trailing zeros; and (C) a limit to the total number of decimal places used. This would bring it into compliance with ISO and ANSI standards. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
