Drawing/Sizing Accuracy in Designer Pro 7
Can we alter the "Accuracy" of drawing an object in Xara? As an example, when I try to specify a size of 2.625, the 'size indicator box' in the info bar shows a size of 2.63. Is there a way to increase the accuracy of the sizing?
When I specify the 2.625 and 2.63 is indicated, is the object actually the desired 2.625? If so, is there a setting that allows for a finer display of information?
...and I do realize it's only 5 thousandths of an inch here, but I'm asked to design to specific sizes and this level of accuracy is indicated.

this is a windows setting
if you change your windows setting to three decimal places then xara will follow suit

Cool. Where do I do that?
Re: Drawing/Sizing Accuracy in Designer Pro 7
windows 7 :
control panel > clock, language and region > change the date, time or number format > formats tab and click the [edit:] additional settings button
alter the 'No of digits after decimal' value on the numbers tab

Well thank goodness for the Talk Graphics Forum. I would have NEVER figured this one out. ...and how in the heck did YOU know about this???? [rhetorical question] Anyway... Thank you for your help; I couldn't have done this without you!

that's why some of us are here :).. I would have picked up the info on this forum myself almost certainly back in the day, just need to know where in the OS to look..
