    the number of decimal places is governed by Windows 7 or whatever, you have to change it to 3 or four to get what you are after.

    Thank you Scotty. Where I make this happen in Windows 7 or whatever? Can I make Xara tell Window 7 I want the 3 decimal?

    I am pretty sure the value of the third decimal place is "remembered", the display just rounds to nearest hundredth.

    I suppose you could test it by drawing two squares, one at .125 x125 and the other at .13 x.13 and then scale both up by a large factor then measuring the sides of both squares. If I am correct, they shouldn't measure the same.

    This is correct. If you manually set the dimensions to 1.125 inch, the rectangle will be this size, but the display of the width/height in the box will be rounded to 1,13

    in windows XP the steps are as attached - I cannot say for windows 7 or other operating systems - this is what Jim was referring to, I think

    once you have set this in windows - xara should use the same most of the time
