Changing the measuring tool

#1 Post by inventorgeorge » 17 Aug 2022, 05:23

I need to create a measuring parameter smaller than the current smallest unit.
how do I either create a new parameter, or change an existing parameter?
currently, my smallest measuring increment is 6.25 mils. I need to measure in increments of 2 mils.

(referencing DipTrace 4.3.0.1)
I don't know if this will help, but check your precision settings (main menu: View > Precision...)

If it's a finer grid that you are looking for, add what you need to your custom grid table (main menu: View > Customize Grid...)

then set the grid size to one of the newly-added custom values (toggle using [Ctrl] "+" or [Ctrl] "-") and try making another measurement.
