Reconise decimal point in rotary move

I have a rotary rotary in my machine.
When I program a B90 it goes to B90° it should only go to B90 when the code is B90.
How do I get Vericut to reconise that it must read the decimal point.
So B90 would B.09° and B90. would be B90°

Re: Reconise decimal point in rotary move

Define the format of B register in:
Configuration > Word Format  as:
B > Macro > Numeric > Trailing or Decimal > 0.3 > Trailing or Decimal > 0.3

B1 will be interpreted as B .001
B1. or B1000 will be interpreted as B1.

Re: Reconise decimal point in rotary move

I changed "B" from 3.3 to 0.3 but it still goes to B90° with a B90 comand.
B90. also goes to B90°

In MDI its the same B45 goes to B45° when only B45. should = B45°

Thanks Dave

Re: Reconise decimal point in rotary move

Be sure that the format for B = Trailing or Decimal

Here's s bit from the documentation:

Decimal — Interprets values as floating point decimals.
Leading or Decimal — Interprets values without a decimal as having leading zeros. Depending on the active unit system (inch or metric).
Trailing or Decimal — Similar to Leading or Decimal, except interprets values as having trailing zeros.
