The Industrial Graphics Editor enables you to specify a number format during design time using a format string for Value Display animations.

A Value Display animation includes a Text Format field. When Text Format is set to Format String, enter a text string that represents the format of numbers shown during run time.
During design time, a numeric format string or numeric value follows the United States number format.
-
The decimal point in a number is a period.
-
The thousand separator in a number is a comma.

In the example above, the design-time numeric format strings within the box at the left comply with the U.S. number format. But during run time, User Input and Value Display animation show numbers in the correct format of the country specified by the computer’s Regional setting.
