    Just code it with one decimal and don't worry about it. Mach will "assume" additional digits are zero.

    You are not "required" to give it all four decimal digits

    I'm using ArtCam for gcode creation it saves the code with 4 decimals and I only need to use the first, can Mach3 be setup to use only the first one?

    No, you need to change the post in ArtCAM. It should be very simple to do.

    Check to see if ArtCam has an option to let you change the precision when it generates the gcode.
