Difficulty managing precise measurements and unit settings
Users struggle to set exact dimensions, adjust unit precision (e.g., 1/32"), and switch between decimal and fractional formats. There is significant friction for beginners trying to input specific lengths without relying on manual dragging.

I draw a line to 7/32", for example, but when I use the measure tool, it reads 1/4". Any clues to what I am doing wrong?
I can’t seem to get Layout to use decimal dimensions. In Layout under File_Document Setup_Units I have selected Decimal with 0.01 as the desired accuracy. I am trying to dimension a drawing from a Sketchup file that uses decimal measurements, and Layout only gives me fractional inch dimensions.
I would like to know if there is a way to change the way that sketchup displays the measurement in the lower right corner of the screen, something that is exact on the length of the line.
