This has got to be the stupidest if not fatal flaw in the entire Draw bailiwick. You can convert between metric units without loss of precision, but converting with any other units will incurr rounding errors. OOo's internal dimensions are based on metric units, with a maximum precision of 0.01 mm (the two-decimal place limit again). You can enter more precise values if you switch to a metric measurement unit: 0.01 inch > 0.01 mm. Whatever you enter is rounded to two places, and entered into the file based on the rounded number. You can register there and add your vote (up to two) or comment.Īcknak wrote:OOo's dimension entry widgets are always limited to two decimal places-period.

Second, OOo's internal dimensions are based on metric units, with a maximum precision of 0.01 mm (the two-decimal place limit again). One is that OOo's dimension entry widgets are always limited to two decimal places-period. Have you read the Forum Survival Guide? There's no one here that can do anything about your complaints we're just users like yourself. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the labels shown on drafting-style dimension lines.
