Adjusting Ruler Bars Precision

Anyone know how to make the ruler bars use decimal in the visualization of the distances between markers?  I have components and alignments that I need to have in 1/2MM steps and the rulers are only showing in whole numbers.  While useful, doesn't get me the Precision I need to do my task.  I know I can use the * to dial it in, but I have multiple objects that are staggered and the ruler bar would make it neat and easy to do.   Is there a registry hack or something that can fix this problem?

Hi,

 

I had a look at this, and I don't think this is currently possible. I've entered a bug (D117070) so that this will be addressed in a future release.

I kind of figured this would be the outcome, thanks for taking a look.  Chris

There could be a workaround - set the PCB properties to mm, then set the parts & copper grid spacing to 0.5 mm. This will allow you to place the ruler bar markers to 0.5 mm precision, even though the display shows up in whole numbers.
