No, it's not an issue.  Within a reasonable amount of error, of course.  If
subfiles are positioned orthoganally to each other, there should be no alignment

subfile command.  Typically, 3 decimal places is recommended in part files, but
for odd-angle rotations, more than 3 places can be a good thing.
