Help? Page layouts are being 'rounded off'. I need it precise for book printing.

[atrtink]

I just received the update to version 1.10.0.1127

It's the first time I've had this issue. I'm creating a custom book cover template for a client, and his printing company - Bookmobile, specified the spine width as being 0.8497 inches. When I enter this in, and continue to the next measurement - Affinity Designer and Publisher - round it off to .85.  I tried converting to millimeters -but it's doing the same thing.

 

Aside form going back to an earlier version, is there something else that can be done?

 

Thanks,

 

Rebecca

You don't have to actually change the preferences. That is just for display. The actual size will be accurate to the 10.8497 regardless of the display precision.
