Fraction precision controls the displayed increment and denominator format. Arithmetic generally retains the underlying value even when the displayed fraction is rounded. The stair workflows explicitly describe their separate step-rounding behavior.
Round to the nearest 1/32 inch
Displayed fractions round to the selected increment. Stored values keep their precision.
