I have a schematic and when I copy and past it to a new schematic the file preset values load correct, but when it is run through a 0-1 to Normal prim, they get rounded off differently..

Both schematics are identical in every way, the max has a value of 60 max, and zero min in both.

The preset parameter value is 0.014742 on both, and as I say it has a Max of 60 and a min of zero. Both schematics are identical. Only after it goes through a 0-1 to Normal do the values differ...

Original Value from the 0-1 to Normal 0.884518

Value from 0-1 to Normal of the copied schematic 0.88452

So on the copied schematic it is rounding the number off to 5 decimal places when it should be 6. Is there something I need to do to get it to stop rounding the numbers off? It may seem like a small number to be worried about, but thats actually quite large and the differences are stark! I need the full resolution.

Couple of things come to mind...

1) Have you tried the 'Options>Advanced>Show values as 32bit float' - maybe there are values that look identical only because of SM' optimising the decimal values for display purposes.

2) Most preset values go around in a feedback loop in order that displays get updated, 'snap' values get applied etc. So possibly there are extra rounding errors creeping in that get returned to the preset prim' (again, maybe unseen because of the 'decimal optimisation' of the display values.)

Question 1.. Yes and it does exactly the same thing Question 2.. No because it comes straight out of the preset prim into a 0-1 to Normal. Directly out of the preset prim bith numbers in both schematics are identical, only after it goes through the 01-normal do they differ. These are copied schematics that are identical in every way. Original schematic gives me one value, copied schematic gives me another..

This is a pretty big deal actually because I cannot find out why they do this, or what the mechanism is to control it.
