Decimal Places for Unit Types in 'Guides Manager' for Designer, Photo & Publisher.

[macCesar]

Is it posible for the "Guides Manager" to 'respect' the Decimal setting in ALL Programs??

Right now I've set Inches to have 4 decimals, but the window only shows one decimal, like in Gutter, Margins, etc.

I know that typed values are respected regardless of what it's shown.. But it looks odd!!.

Thanks!!!

Hi macCesar,

This certainly looks like a slight oversight. I'll get this passed on to development. 

Thank you!

There are a lot of places where this is an issue, not just in the Guides Manager. Hopefully they will take a look at all of them and have any numerical input field respect the settings. As an example another place where this is really a problem is when adding a radius at a node, it will only show one decimal place making it very hard to match up different nodes where the same radius might be needed. The values are always rounded up so there is no way of telling what the precise angle might be.

@handshaper Has there been any progress on resolving this?  I'm running into this issue in the Guides Manager right now.  While the workaround I'm using is to set document units to points, this seems like an import issue to resolve since working with inches is common.
