I truly appreciate the new pdf/cad printout/export features with their measurement tools. However, I keep ending up with imprecise numbers that make the measurements look unprofessional, and complicated to build. If I had a measuring tool in the design environment - like autocad, I wouldn’t have to keep correcting back and forth - or reducing the precision in acrobat. Any suggestions?

Relatedly, if there was a way to add sounds to simulate predictable joins (precision), it would make snap to grid to shape construction a lot more efficient - thus reducing odd fractions at the documentation stage of design.
