I’m reposting this to make current an issue with the iPad version of Designer. I originally posted in 2018 and again in 2019 about the lack of real decimal unit accuracy when compared to the desktop version. I work in Designer a lot and am limited in what I can do on the iPad (my preferred Designer platform!) because this feature continues to be absent: Decimal places in even small millimeter scales is possible in files created in the desktop Designer version. But move that file to the iPad, and while the placed units are correct, any attempt to view that accuracy (rounds to nearest whole number), or change the dimension to a decimal-level number - destroys the object’s dimensional accuracy. This really needs to be addressed by the dev team. There is no excuse that I can think of that would legitimize continued non-support of this basic-level (in many ways critical) feature. I’ll leave the forum members to weigh in on their experience, as well as hope for a response and plan from Serif.

Apps: All Platforms: iPad iPad versions of all apps now have the preferences available on desktop versions to set the decimal place precision of different unit types. We expect these preferences to be reflected in all areas of the UI - i.e. if you set mm to be 3 decimal places then in the transform panel, sliders and all other controls you should now see any values in mm to 3 decimal places. This should also be shown when you go to edit any values using the single tap - calculator on any field.
