The area or perimeter result will then displays with the precision set in the data format style and, in an extra column, with their exact precision without rounding. Example: Calculated Perimeter = 33.778 m Exact Calculated Perimeter = 33.777692 m Calculated Area = 88.532 m2 Exact Calculated Area = 88.5321423 m2 8 Click OK. Setting the Default Templates An evaluation document is saved as a spreadsheet (XLS) file or as an ASCII text format (TXT) file. To create an XLS file, you need an XLT template, and to create a TXT document, you need a TXT template. AutoCAD Architecture includes preset templates for both formats. You can use those templates as provided or you can modify them according to your needs. You can also create your own XLT and TXT templates in Microsoft® Excel or any word processor, like NotePad or Microsoft® Word. After a default template is set, it is used for all evaluations until you change the default settings again. If no default template has been set, you are prompted for a template each time you create an evaluation. 1 Open the Scheduling tool palette, and select the Space Evaluation tool. 2 Click Evaluation Options. 3 Click the Templates tab.
