DX does not currently support double positions only float.

David

Another interesting problem.  To keep things simple, I need 8-16
significant digits in my field positions.  The logical choice is to change
the input field positions to "type double".

The docs say it should work, but OpenDX's .dx loader generates:

     "Bad type: bad positions/box type in bounding box"

(For example, try loading the attached .dx file.)

Am I doing this wrong?  If not, is this just a bug in the parser, or does
dxexec not really support double positions?

I can resort to local dynamic offsets and de-offsets, but if DX supports
double positions I'd rather not complicate things unnecessarily.

Thanks,

Randy
