Prompt Line Default Value

The default value for the prompt line seems to be 2 decimal.This is very unfriendly to small design work done in inches. I need to have 3 decimal accuracy at a minimum. 5/8" is 0.625" NOT 0.62"The 2 work-arounds I have found are either:a. re-enter the value for multiples of the same item [circles at points, &c.]b. select the previous value from the pop-up menu located lower right.Both are tedious and promote mistrakes.How can I change the default value to 3 decimals?Regards, Tkat From Murphy's Rules of Combat:"If the enemy's within range, so are you."

Probably good to do the same for the Coordinate display value so measurements in the Info pallete show your desired resolution too.Sorry for the delay in responding.I get the feeling the 50 other folk on this list know even less than me (and I only know what I've picked up from rummaging around) or one of them might have beaten me to it.Or maybe they know everything and are just sitting back silently laughing at you and me struggling with the basics .... :-)regardsRowland-- : Wilma & Rowland Carson <http://home.clara.net/rowil/>: <rowil@clara.net> ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...

Certainly no silent laughing on my part.I can't speak for anybody else, but I've been extraordinarily busy and haven't actually been using CADintosh for much in awhile.That, and I'm still waiting for friends of mine at the UN to translate your voluminous posts into English. They're still waiting on a reply from the codebreakers at NSA, though. 8^)
