Point Attributes store numbers that can have decimal places.
Values are stored to a maximum of 15 significant figures and must be within the range:
- 1.5e-45 to 3.4e38
- 1e-039 to 1e+038 for positive values
Point Attributes can store and display trailing zeros at the end of a numerical
value, allowing the correct representation of data where precision is important. The
significant zero is indicated by an overbar. To use trailing zeros, when entering data,
type in the decimal separator (plus any zeros).
