When displaying distance measurements ...

Q: Does anyone feel the need to have more than one digit to the right of
the decimal point when measuring in Angstroms? (or 2 digits with
nanometers)

Example:

  1.234 A -> 1.2 A
  0.1234 nm -> 0.12 nm

If you are in favor of having more than one digit ...

Q: Are you sure that showing extra digits is not implying some false level
of precision?

I made an executive decision to reduce the number of digits to the right
of the decimal place by one. So now picometers are shown as integers and
angstroms are shown with two digits to the right of the decimal point.

Let's see what other people think.
