Can i set minimum increments to Line Lengths While drawing

When drawing without typing in your desired distances, is it possible to somehow set the line length to a minimum increment, say round off to 10mm instead of me drawing lines that are 1824.2494mm long, insted have it limit itself to 1820mm?

Hi,

 

>> is it possible to somehow set the line length to a minimum increment

For orthogonal lines you can define a grid/snap, but that does not help for all lines that are not vertical or horizontal.

AutoCAD does not have a setting for incremental-distance to define line-lengths.

 

Other question: when you know that the line has to be 1820 units long, why not entering the value? Either in the command-line or when dynamic mode is on on these fields?

... not just on, but of course with the Snap spacing set to the desired increment.  But as @Alfred.NESWADBA has pointed out, this will have the desired effect only for Lines drawn in orthogonal directions.
