Clearer error messages for non-integer values instead of integer ones. #165

Closed dewi-ny-je closed 4 years ago

On windows 10 I tried to change the grid from 5 to 2.5 mm. All the values appear with dot as decimal separator, and if I just click OK it works.

When I change the grid spacing from 5 to 2.5 I get the message "I cannot read one of the numbers entered". Same message when I use the comma as decimal separator. There may be an issue in the conversion of the decimals.

The system, outside FidocadJ, is set to use comma for decimals.

Well, the problem is that coordinates in FidoCadJ are always integer numbers. Therefore, a snap grid can not be non integer.

I thought about increasing the resolution, but I fear the incompatibility with older versions.

I am slowly pacing towards introducing non-integer quantities here and there, but this does not come without problems.

As workaround, a clearer error message would do. I really didn't know what the problem was.

I agree!
