Why is Fusion always so stupidly inaccurate? This is an issue i've had for months but i have just been ignoring it but now its enough.

So when i say in a dimension fx. that i want something to be 144,5 mm and i then measure it it becomes something like the image below. I know a millionth of a millimeter is not something that will be a problem in the real world but it's just incredibly annoying to look at. If anyone has a fix please tell me i have googled it many times and looked at different posts on forums but nothing fixes it on there it's also hard to search for so i might just not have found the correct posts. Thanks in advance.

Soooo ... what stupidly advanced alien technology are you using to create parts with that sort of accuracy ?

If you set the displayed accuracy to say 3, or 4 digits after the comma you get a perfectly fine measure result.

I would not be too bothered by the number.

In the image the other lines are blue so their position is not fixed. What happens if you dimension these to the origin(preferably whole numbers)? If the other lines are fixed off other geometry you'll get more floating point fuzziness! You might even need to constrain the component the sketch is part off.
