Decimal Places and Accuracy

Hello!

 

In Adobe Dimension there is only 1 decimal place used/shown for X/Y/Z positioning This can make things very difficult to accurately position items - especially components that fit together tightly. Often if I type in a fraction and use extra decimal places it will position correctly, just showing a rounded number in the info area, but if I am selecting an existing option I do not know if the position is exact or rounded. 

 

Also, if I manually reposition an object I can see that the object moves but the postion only updates when the rounding increases enough to roll over to the next digit. 

 

Object size has 2 decimal places which is more helpful, but for us in the USA still using inches at least 3 decimal places are needed for any kind of accuracy. I dislike having to "eyeball" how products fit together (especially if they interconnect in a way where you can't get the camera in view to see if they join up properly).

 

Thanks for your insight on this!
