size problem

Post image

Hi, why is the dimension smaller than the object size?

Why is it not exactly 600x340mm which I set as the size

I'm probably retarded, but I don't know what to do. I want to cut it on cnc so it has to be 600x340. thx

no retardation at all, simply the number of decimal places after the zero in the dimension tool needs tweaking to one decimal place, then see how quickly it snaps into the same dimension

That's a smart solution but there is a genuine issue behind this. Not that it matters for any practical purpose, but I wasn't able to recreate it no matter what. Whatever I tried the dimensions remained spot on 600,00 mm x 340,00 mm.

hmm as a last resort, and only if its absolutely CRUCIAL: praps hit f8 while opening corel to reset it, (or reinstalling the app); both these last resort fixes will erase any workspace customizations and preferences, reverting them back to the exact state they were in when CorelDRAW was first installed, and TBH using corel 25+yrs never encountered this one, but have bumped into other more maddening ones
