Post by Priyadarshan »

How can the table tool menu be controlled in in Ver 8+ as was possible Ver 6?

You can still right-click the tool to change settings. Or is there some other menu action you're after?

Hello
In version 6 table tool output the significance level was not preset at 1.0E6. It could be reset by specifying formats ( say %10.1f) in the adjacent window which opens on right-clicking the tool.
I tried loading in version 8 the saved (VTS) which worked fine in version 6. No luck so far.

There are a couple of issues here.

1. Even though you set the precision to %10.1f in Vensim 6, the VDF file format actually stores values in float format, so %10.1f would contain junk.

2. If you really need that level of precision, the best option for now is to export the values (using the menu Model->Export dataset). This will give you the full precision available.

3. I'll raise a note in our internal tracking system to be able to specify formats in the new table tool.
