Leon lcb11211@swbelldotnet fired this volley in
news:062dnVEpXqyDHw7PnZ2dnUVZ5uudnZ2d@giganews. com:

I am a woodworker and routinely work with pieces that measure in 1/8"
resolution however the program is quite capable of accurately and quite
quickly drawing a box that is 4 1/16 x 5 3/64 x 9 19/32.

If I were using it for woodworking, I assume those accuracies would be
adequate, if a little gross for a CNC router...

But I work daily with sub-thousandth measurements. Do you really
understand how funny dealing with "thirty-secondths" sounds to a
metalworker?

As the watchmaker's apprentice said when seeing a 1/4-28 tap "My
God, I didn't know they made them that big!"

Yep. All depends on what you are used to working with.
