Dim precision/decimal places

Curiosity.
What method or variable allows to set the decimal/precision beyond 8 places?

Thank you.

Beyond the standard 8 places you would have to use the AutoLISP function
(rtos) which can return up to 15 places with precision.
(rtos VARIABLE 1 16) will return to 16 places.

You're welcome. With some simple AutoLISP, one can become much more
productive and not have to be a "programmer". ex: (* 5 6) returns 30 and
can be input during a command while drawing, moving, etc.
