I noticed that the current Setting_AxisStepsPerMM setting has 5 zeros after the decimal point. Is there any reason for doing this?

I don't know the purpose of you doing this, I'm not sure if you want to change it back, and I have never set the Setting_AxisStepsPerMM parameter with a decimal, I don't know its meaning, stay vigilant!!

It was from a user request - 3 fractional digits was not enough for him.

I won't and I see no reason for changing it back.

and I have never set the Setting_AxisStepsPerMM parameter with a decimal

I have, on my belt driven CO2 laser. And there are gear driven axes, rotary axes where the setting is in steps/degree, machines with imperial screws and what not else...
