Co-ordinates/ruler problem

[nazf355]

Hello,

I was working on my design and the X and Y co-ordinates correctly reflected the position of the objects, then I changed a shadow on an object and now all the co-ordinates have changed, I can see that the X co-ordinates have change by the shadow blur (say 6px) so X=10 has become X=4 and Y=450 has become Y-4500. I can see the one the vertical rule 0 is now where the page ends rather than the top of the page. Page option origins is 0,0.

Does anyone know what I have done? and how to get it back to normal.


Edit: OK I figured out that the origin I may have changed previously so have set to 0,page height, which seems to resolve the Y issue.

Edit numero 2: The X issue seems to be caused when you group objects then the width/co-ordinates of the object include the shadow. To resolve this I used soft group instead which seems to work.

Xara application grouping always displays the width and height of the whole group even if one is invisible.
