Ok, I understand. Let's speculate how it would work. Imagine a program, where you choose the project scale (maximum dimension) and machining precision (smallest size step, like 50 microns). From that the fixed point format could be chosen and it would work essentially as under-the-hood grid snapping. In my opinion it would be way better.

Hi Fubax, there are some programs that work like that such as 3D Coat's voxel sculpting mode.

It isn't common in CAD though.
