Limits to zoom

With 2.1.3.2 I have found that the zoom level seems to be limited to 0.1 units, as shown on the grid. I have changed the grid to 0.0001 with no effect. thus if the dimensions are set to mm I can only zoom to 0.1mm. Older versions zoomed to greater than 0.0001mm. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

I can draw a 1/100 mm with mm dimension settings.

"QCad Professional" for only EUR 34.


I think it has to do that with such zoom levels that do some crazy things in the display view.

That's fine, but mine does not. I've tried on two computers, no help. The limit is consistent among units selected. mm to 0.1 mm, mils to 0.1 mil. It is as if the grid gets stuck at 0.1 (whatever). So, I use this to design pcb footprints, and this version doesn't work for that. It's gotta be a setting somewhere.

Maybe a refresh problem? Zoom, then press "redraw" button.

Else, I don't now. Reinstall maybe.

Maybe setup 1 m (Meter) Unit and check zoom if it possible to zoom to 1/100 m.

Then define logically for you, 1 m = 1mm.
