I don't fully understand your question. Are you referring to these commands?
Do you mean you want to see full accuracy for the measurements (the maximum number of decimal places)?

Thanks, I didn't know about those options within the command. Unfortunately those are command specific and they aren't available through a setting or through the API. The document setting that I showed in my last post can be set in your templates so new parts will inherit the setting but it affects a lot more than just the measure command. There's also API functionality to set the document setting so you could have an add-in that sets it on-the-fly as new documents are created. But you may not want to set the document setting since it does affect other things.

The following should fix the problem for all new documents.
If you change the Document settings of a template file, then all new files made from that template will have those settings. You just need to close all new parts and go open up the actual template from it's location, not by creating a new file. One way to find the location of your Templates is to click 'New', select 'Projects...' and hover your mouse over 'Templates = [Default]', it wll have a popup text showing where the location of your templates are. Now just go open up each template you want to change and apply any document settings you would like. Tools/Document Settings/Units Tab, and change linear and angular precision up to 5 digits.
I needed to do this because when creating a constraint the 'predict offset' feature is only based off this precision setting, while Inventor itself goes much higher. So if I tried to predict an offset that was exactly .0625 and the part was grounded, then the predict offset would think it was .063, which was wrong, and so the constraint would fail.
