For example, if 2 is specified as the number for <b class="uiTerm">Information Window</b>, a coordinate value of 27.8749443345677 that is output to the Information window appears as 27.87. Pasting this value into one of the coordinate fields of the Point Constructor dialog, for example, results in the value 27.87 being used, rather than the desired value of 27.8749443345677.
