      Hi,

      Is there a way to achieve an accuracy lower than 1/10th a millimeter using DimensionTool ?

      Currently, I set unity to millimeter and I can set a display to "0,1".

      But I would like to obtain 1/100th of millimeter.

      Thanks for you help. Regards.

        As far as I remember, you can set accuracy to two decimal digits. So 0.01 should still work but 0.001 won't. I remember there was a (very technical) explanation for it but due to its technical reasons, I cannot remember.

          HI,

          in millimeter I can set 0,1
          in centimeter 0,01
          in meter 0,0001

          it's always 1/10th millimeter maximum accuracy, strange.

          Thanks.

            Yes, you are right, sorry. I should have checked first.

            (I always use centimetres so the two decimals may have come from that).

            Anyway, the "technical explanation" did really happen but I cannot remember the technical reason (as it was beyond my understanding anyway).

            Gai...
