Given the internal 1/100 mic scale, why does FPX prevent the entry of a number less than 0.001 mm?

Specifically, if I try to set my 3D Model Outline Width to something less than 0.001 mm (1 mic, right?) the tool doesn't permit it.

Why would I want something so small Big smile?

Well, Eagle has a ULP that will use the body outline data line _width_ to represent the body _height_ and generate the proper IDF model for importing into Solidworks (or so the story goes).  So, I would like to build my part libraries to accommodate this capability (at least until there is real 3D support from Cadsoft).

I can (and do) edit the resulting Eagle export to change the associated layer's line width before I import it into Eagle.  However, it would be 'nice' to be able to use the tool's 3D Outline feature to do the work for me :-)
