/CFORMAT, NFIRST, NLAST
Controls the graphical display of alphanumeric character strings
for parameters, components, assemblies, and tables.
NFIRSTDisplay the first n characters
of the parameter, component, assembly, or table name, up to 32. Defaults to
32.
NLASTDisplay the last n characters of
the parameter, component, assembly, or table name, up to 32. Defaults to 0.
Use this command to control the length of the character string that is shown in the graphics window for a parameter, component, assembly, or table name.
The total number of characters (NFIRST + NLAST +3)
cannot exceed 32.
If NFIRST is greater than zero and NLAST =
0, only the NFIRST characters are displayed, followed
by an ellipsis.
If NFIRST = 0 and NLAST is
greater than zero, only the NLAST characters are
displayed, preceded by an ellipsis (...).
If both NFIRST and NLAST are
greater than zero, the name will be shown as NFIRST,
followed by an ellipsis (...), followed by NLAST,
up to a maximum of 32 characters.
For example, if NFIRST = 6 and NLAST =
3, and the character string is LENGTHOFSIDEONE, then it will appear in the
graphics window as LENGTH...ONE.
If the actual length of the character string is less than the specified
combination of NFIRST + NLAST +3,
then the actual string will be used.
This command is valid in any processor.
