Rayon offers a variety of snapping options.
The units and the decimal/fraction precision of lengths and areas can be fine-tuned in your models.
In Rayon, line strokes are measured in paper size (e.g. 0.5mm or1/64"), that is, the size at which the thickness of lines will be on a printed paper.
However, the Line scale property allows you to tune how lines appear on your screen. This allows you to change the appearance of line thicknesses while you work on your model.
When you export your drawing to PNG or PDF (See Pages and Exporting models), the paper size (e.g. A4) and the paper scale (e.g. 1:50) are used to compute the exact thickness of lines on the exported document.
