Well using micrometers in the files is still an option, this will mean that most numbers will be integers without decimal points. I'll prepare a couple of board files and post them as examples. It might be a compromise, but I think the files might be bigger. We'll see. No need to guess. And yes, it does not address your concern about significant digits. Just remember 10. It will always be 10, or 9.5 actually, until we move off the 32 bit BIU.
