shock   Dimensions bug and snapping
Casual user here, using SH3D intermittently (currently 7.2) and I'm quite frustrated with the dimension tool. It needs to snap to corners and edges, but it doesn't. I have already had a couple of mishaps today with dimensions being off by 5mm despite best efforts. I simply can't use the tool with measurements I haven't already calculated.

When I look for solutions, I see people recommending that I use the 'double click edge to create dimension' method. The main problem is that not everything I want to dimension is a single continuous edge, or an edge at all. That leads to messy workarounds.

The second problem is clearly a bug. The precision of the dimension created with double click changes with zoom, which is not ideal at all. If I zoom in and create a dimension it says 316.5cm which is the actual size. But if I create it while zoomed out, it says 316cm.
