    Default 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

    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
