the behavior of the UV input boxes goes together with the “set” button – all too easily overlooked. with set checked, if you type a number in U or v, it will set this value for each selected sample (collapsing to a specific value in one go), with “set” unchecked, it will move the whole selection to this location, keeping it intact as a whole. and you can type expressions such as 1+ for moving on square to the right, or .5* to scale by half.
so producing numerically exact layouts is perfectly possible.
