coordinates issues

[killerwhale65]

Hi,

I want to exactly align 2 objects. I adjust the X and Y values to the exact value of the other object (like 401.7), but still they are slightly misaligned. How can that be?

thanks,

Matt

any chance you could post an example?

BTW - did you get your line problem sorted out here?:

would be interesting to know there what the problem was

It's probably because of the way line width affects the edges of the two shapes.

If you're dealing with numeric coordinates then I suggest you turn off "Scale line widths" in the selector tool (seccond button from the right).

When you do that, line widths, corners, dash patterns and arrowheads are ignored in the X, Y, W and H numeric edit fields
