We are using a Microscribe G2 digitizer and AutoCad 2004 to create 2D shapes. We are using Microscribe's MUS software to send the point data to AutoCad. Recently, the MUS utility is returning only 8 character strings for the point representation. This defines the actual points incompletely because there is actual more than 8 characters of data. If we set the x,y values to return 4 decimal places in MUS, the x value will be returned and the y value will only be partially returned. Let's say that the Microscribe is pointing to (1.5,2.5). If the MUS format string was set at "%.4f,%.4f/n", the values returned would be "1.5000,2". If the format string was set to "%.2f,%.2f/n", the values returned would be "1.50,2.5". Now, let's say the Microscribe is pointing to (10.5,20.5). If the format string was set at "%.4f,%.4f/n", the values returned would be "10.5000,". If the format string was set to "%.2f,%.2f/n", the values returned would be "10.50,20".

You will note that these values are problematic as they don't define the actual location of the stylus to the AutoCad command. How can I get the MUS utility to return more than 8 characters to the AutoCad program?
