Align/distribute problem/issue

[PeteA]

Hi there - we've now purchased Xara for our business and are slowly moving away from Freehand. We've encountered another issue though with the pesky graphs....aligning and distributing!

When tracing a graph (redrawing) we would normally draw the axis line, then draw the tick marks and align the top tick mark to the top of the line and then the bottom tick mark to the bottom of the line. We would then deselect the y axis line and select all the tick marks and distribute them evenly = axis drawn.

However in Xara the first 2 work fine but when we then select the ticks and select distribute centres, for some reason Xara pushes the top and bottom tick marks out ever so slightly - is this a Xara thing or are we missing something???! Either way our scientific redraws have to be extremely accurate and this is a pain

I've uploaded a file to show you what I mean - you'll need to zoom into the top ticks to see the problem. Any help very much appreciated
