      Under Model Info >> Units >>

      I am looking at two of the fields

      1. Precision
      2. Length Snapping

      Ok, to start I am working under Architectural

      How does 1) and 2) work?

      My Situation.

      The default on mine was 1/16" for precision and 1/4" Length Snapping.

      I am designing a jig saw guide and need to work with 32nds of an inch.

      The problem I am running into is when I used the ruler for precision 32nds, it shows the correct placer, but when I go to draw a line it does not let me connect two points.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks

        Do you mean that when trying to draw a line between two points, the line itself is not created or there is no face created when the line is drawn?
        There is a glitch in SU when it comes to very small models; under about 1/16" it won't create faces properly. The general workaround is to draw your geometry in a bigger scale (in metric it's easy, say 10 times bigger) and after you finished, scale your model back to the desired size.
