Designer object size and placement issue

[TinaInNH]

I'm trying to precisely place a rectangle. The canvas is 34x34. The rectangle is 34x34, at (0,0), so the rectangle should fill the canvas, but it doesn't. Note the very small edge of the transparent canvas background showing through on the right edge.

This leads me to mistrust all the sizing and placing features, on all my layers, most hidden in the uploaded image.

Hi @TinaInNH,

Welcome to the forums

Can you please save, then attach a copy of the .afdesign file shown in your screenshot here? This should allow me to identify any issues with your document. Many thanks in advance!

It is in Pixels? It is whole pixel? (without decimal part - Preferences/UI Options/Decimal Places for Unit Types set to more digits).

Dan, see attached.

Psenda, it's in inches, not pixels.

 

Thanks.

The origin of the rulers is slightly off the canvas in your document, so your rectangle at (0, 0) is slightly misaligned with the canvas. Double-click the intersection of the rulers to reset the origin to the upper left corner of the canvas, and then position the rectangle at (0, 0) or snap it to the canvas.

Just a visual reference for anon2’s answer.
