Change Decimal Places Default

Hello, wonderful internet people & fellow Illustrators

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the decimal place accuracy to default to only rounded numbers i.e. 1mm instead of 1.325. I want EVERYTHING to snap to the nearest mm (Axis, Dimensions etc.) rather than 1.233 for example.

Yes, I can manually type into the dims / axis boxes everytime but thats a chore.

Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA

Neil,

I am afraid that any rounding would only affect what you see and give you what you get already.

You may ease some of the pain by adjusting the Edit>Preferences>General>Keyboard Increment.

The original default is 1 point (1/72 inch or just under 0.3528 mm, more precisely 0.352777777 etc).

Jacob, Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing its not possible.

My keyboard increment is already set to 0.05 for some nice, clean, fine editing....
