Affinity Designer is displaying incorrect measurements.

[Ove]

On the attached screenshot there are two objects. The bottom one is created for reference, showing what 0,1 width looks like.  At least theoretically it should be in its correct size, as I created that object by typing its measurements into the Transform box.

Now the upper object is created by me manually dragging a rectangle. As you can see it's starting to show 0,1 mm width when it has reached to about 0,05 mm, which is incorrect.

It's the same thing when using the measurement tool. The measurement tool is showing 0,1 mm when in reality it's 0,05 mm. Or for example showing 0,2 mm, when in reality it's 0,15 mm.

 

 

 

Using Affinity Designer latest version on macOS Ventura 13.4.

Hi @Ove and welcome to the forums,

What happens if you increase the number of decimal places for mm under Preferences, e.g., setting it to six…

What is the drawingscale top left on the contexttoolbar when using the measurementtool?
Make sure it is 1:1

Thank you, Hangman! Increasing the decimal places solved the problem.
