1/72? So you're telling me that everything in a PowerCADD file is tied back to the size of a pixel on the screen? What does a pixel have to do with anything?
There have been various aspects of this dimensioning & accuracy thing that have been a problem for as long as I've used PowerCADD. Seems like it even plays into the zoom limit issue somehow, if I remember correctly. Isn't it time to consider a non pixel-based number system like most of the other CAD systems use? Is there anything about this system that gives PowerCADD a great advantage which I'm not aware of, or is it rather nothing more than an excuse for my fresh-out-of-school employees to rib me about using a so-called "second-tier" CAD system?
I'm obviously not a programmer, and there are certainly things I don't understand, but these questions ought to be addressed somehow.
