Measuring tool preferences

[Sam_Cox@adobeforums.com]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the measure tool in Acrobat 7 to measure down to .001 instead of .01?

Hard coded into the application - unless anyone knows about a plug-in?

Enfocus Pitstop measuring tools also round-up to .00

Sam,

On what monitor that you use will measurements down to the last one
thousandths be accurate. On my 12 inch laptop monitor a pixel is about
0.01 inch to measure accurately to the nearest pixel is not going to get
much better than that. Let us not forget that we probably cannot
physically manipulate the cursor to a specific pixel.

Thats pretty weird. The 3D Measuring Tool goes to 1/10,000th of a unit (whatever meaurement units you're using), but the 2D stuff only does hundredths. All other Adobe software does at least Thousandths. That should be corrected.
