Document sizes and Guide positions not in 0,1 mm increments but only whole milimeters.

[lotsdots]

My desktop version does not allow to set document sizes or guides positions on 0,1 mm increments. So 124,5mm gets changed to 125mm. iPad version works fine, but even after setting up and saving documents on iPad first, the desktop version will change the sizes to whole milimeters. Is there an easy way out, this is very problematic for what I am working on.

Hi @lotsdots and welcome to the forums. You just need to change the precision level. Go to the app's Settings, click User Interface, and change Millimetres from 0 to 1.

oh my goodness... that worked! It does not really makes sense, but that could be a language issue. But thanks!!

It is not as obvious as it could be but the Decimal Places for Unit Types settings just set the number of decimal places displayed in the UI. The app always uses the maximum possible precision, which is a bit over 6 decimal places, so if you enter 12,5 mm that's what it will use regardless of what it displays.

Sure? It reminds me to two options when using expressions that may lead to different results if a rounded value is currently displayed in a field. One adds the expression to the displayed value the other deletes the value before typing the expression. Or with Gabe's words:

If you wanted to use the internal value, you would have to delete what's in the box and type "*=2" or "*2".

What I mean is if you type a value directly into the field, it will be evaluated at the maximum available precision, regardless of the number of decimal places displayed once you move out of that field. But of course if you do not clear the field first & use an expression that operates on the displayed value it will use that instead.

It would be weird if it did not, don't you think?
