Label size accuracy

Hi everyone, currently using v10.1 and I was just wondering if there is any way to allow dimensions to be specified to 2 decimal places? or if this has been added to a newer version.

Normally working to 1 decimal place is not a major problem when setting up label templates, but i have recently had a job that is on a 203.2mm page, the label size is 45mm wide, 5mm high with a 5.16mm gap 20 labels per page.

At the moment i can either set my label gap to 5.1 or 5.2mm the problem is that this leads to a 1.2mm run out over the page (20 labels) on a larger label this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but when the label is only 5mm high, 1.2mm is quite noticeable.

  In BarTender 2021 R6 the interlabel gaps can still only be set to one decimal place but I wonder if you can achieve what you are trying to do via using either a Table data object or else by enabling Page Templates. Neither of these are in you version however but you could download the Trial version of 2021to a computer that is currently not running 10.1 and see if they are of use

  Thanks, Philip and Peter.

  I also have a similar request to allow for another decimal place in the Page Setup > Layout editors. Rounding to the nearest tenth of a millimeter can really add up for label template that's intended to print in multiples across a large grid/page.

  @SeagullScientific: can this be a consideration for a future improvement?
