Decimal place limitation during parameter export?

When exporting Kx values (for example) by this method:

Special -> Conductivity [Kxx] -> Save nodal materials as [b]points[/b] - > choosing file type to be shape file.

The parameter values are limited to 8 decimal places. If I export using .pnt or .dat files the decimal places are limited to 10. Is this an inherent limitation of the file types or is there a way to work around this problem? The level of precision for very low conductivity regions is lost when exporting using this method.

Thanks,

You can define the number of decimal places by choosing <<Customize or Create New Formats>> from the file type line when exporting. In the Attributes tab of the DataStore Manager that will come up, for each column detailed settings can be done.
