Does ACE have an accuracy set up for Gerber export?

Does ACE have an accuracy set up for Gerber export?

Thanks for all of your answers. A few more questions.
As I mentioned in my last post. I sent out my test Gerber file to my vendor and I have the film back and I checked a few dimensions. The measurements seem to be slightly on the minus side. I had a Ø.152 and it measured Ø.1517, a line width of .006 measured .0059. Does ACE have an accuracy set up? 

When you export gerber files that require fine resolution (better than 0.001"), make sure to use a "Decimal Accuracy" of 5 places or higher (6 decimal places is the highest accuracy). Please see the link from the ACE forum: 

Here's a screen capture where you can assign the Decimal accuracy for exported Gerber files:

Please note, the above link has been updated. Please use the links below.

What would be the difference in the following: Gerber digits (integer.decimal) 3.4 and 3.5 and 4.6 ?

I then exported the gerbers using units "Inch", and the "Decimal Digits" of "1". Now when I reload the gerbers they look wrong. What happened?
