When making a rectangle and you stretch it out and enter 1.000 rather than accepting it as 1.000 it automatically changes to ..9921 and I cannot figure it out. In options page it is set to inches and 4 decimal places.

  Try working with 'Snap to grid' on - this is found in the ' Options Sketch' tab usually on the screen left side.

  With snap to grid on, in either traditional Sketcher or using the new Sketcher constraints, i can't get the behaviour you have.

  Only working without automatic snapping to grid, can i replicate what you have seen.

  Does this help you?

  Thank You very much Tim, Yes it does. It now works. I am just learning this. Does anyone know if a model from this DesignSpark software can be imported into a program such as Mastercam etc? This software so far seems easier to grasp than others.

  Hi Don.

  Without the add-on ( paid for) Exchange Module which gives you .step and .iges output options, DSM only has some .dxf output capability.

  DSM can output .stl files but i believe these aren't beneficial for CAM applications. Triangle faces ( if in a single plane) can be made a single surface, but the problem is with curved faces / spheres etc becomming a group of small facets.
