I’m trying to measure something to the 1/10s of a mm but I’m only seeing approximate values (ex: ~7mm). How do I get decimals?

Thanks,  
Brad

Note, this only changes the DISPLAY of a measurement. SU works internally to a precision of 1000th of an inch or the metric equivalent .0254mm.

Generally, it’s a good idea to turn Length Snapping off, as you have done.
