grid spacing precision

Postby morsel » Fri May 20, 2011 2:34 pm

Under Document Properties, with grid units set to Inches, grid spacing precision is limited to 4 decimal places, which makes working with designs for small parts difficult, as grids of 1/32" (.03125") or smaller fractional powers of 2 require more than 4 decimal places of precision. Is there a way to change grid spacing precision to 8 decimal places?

You can edit the values for the grid spacing using 'Edit > XML Editor…':

Thanks for the workaround. I think grid spacing precision should be the same as the numeric precision specified in SVG output. Should this be considered a bug or a feature request, and where should I report this to?
