I would like to see Pyware able to print coordinates in true decimal resolution (to one or two decimal places).

Decimal coordinates would allow greater accuracy and avoid some of the rounding errors that occur when rounding to 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 steps. (And I note that in version 4, at least, coordinates are in fact sometimes rounded in the wrong direction, i.e., not to the nearest 1/4 but to the 1/4 step on the other side of the nearest one.)

And I believe decimalization would make coordinate sheets easier to read in some cases. Seeing "2.67 inside 45" makes it clear that one should stand 1/3 of the way between the yardlines in a way that "2.625", "2.75", and "2.5" do not. And coordinates of 1.6 or 3.2 inside/outside the yardlines would let performers know they should stand right on the 1-yard insert marks.

V8 has the option to print coordinates to the nearest 1/10 of a step.

When I use the 1/10 step option, it sometimes uses up to 5 or 6 decimal places instead of just 1/10. it might say 1.20000001 outside the 25 yardline for example. Any fix for this???

Email me this drill and I can take a look at it.
