draging extrusion only allow 0.100 increments

When I drag an extrusion the dimension will only change by 0.100 inches.  Therefore, if I have an extrusion of 0.500 inches and I want to drag the size of the extrusion with the mouse the extrusion will only change to 0.600 to 0.700 to 0.800 etc.  I want to be able to drag the extrusion and have the dimension change by .005.  Is there a configuration that I need to change?  I tried setting the comp_snap_dist_tolerance to .005.  This did not work.

I think you can do this by changing the config.pro options about handle movement intervals:

angle_grid_interval,

centimeter_grid_interval,

...

inch_grid_interval

etc...

The dimensional extrusion is based  on the number of decimal places that you use in the part modeling.

It can be controlled using the config " default_dec_places".

I am not sure if it can be controlled as an incremental value for each drag.
