I've noticed when displaying numeric parameters above 1000 in Visios there appears to be a space inserted every 3 digits (Where you would expect to see a 'thousands' seperator). This is fine with very large numbers (Although it would be nice to have a localized separator, such as a "," for the US), but it makes parsing reading/understanding certain values, such as port numbers, difficult. Is there an option to disable this in Visio? I wasn't able to find one, but I may have been looking in the wrong place.
Examples:
Hi Nick,
I believe what you are looking for is to use the following RegexReplace in the Shape Text (not the shape data field) where 1017 is the parameter ID you want to use.
[RegexReplace:\s+,[param:[this elementid],1017],]
My Shape Data fields:
Parameter|
Element | *
Options | NoAlarmColorFill
Hi Nick, I tried a couple different settings and could not find a way to make look better in edit mode. Seems like this particular solution has to be the shape text. I will keep looking and post here if I find another way to use regexreplace.
Thanks Steve! This was my workaround for the time being.
Do you have any advice on how to make this look neater when in edit mode? All of the extra characters in the text box are being wrapped and overlapping with other text/shapes when I'm editing the Visio (It looks fine rendered).
For example, is there some way to move this into a Shape Data field so I don't need to include it in a text box?
Or if you have any suggestions on formatting the text so it takes up less space when editing in Visio without affecting the font of the rendered Visio?
