VectorCat Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 My object is a group. The group and it's children are all same size: 570 x 398 px and each aligned to the grid on whole pixels. When I create slice in export, the dims are 571 x 399. How can I get the dims I want, IOW, 570 x 398? Thank you! cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi VectorCat, Check if the group/children's X,Y coordinates are whole pixel values (integers). Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorCat Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi VectorCat, Check if the group/children's X,Y coordinates are whole pixel values (integers). Yes. They are all on whole pixel coordinates: both the child objects, and the group they're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorCat Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Whatever the cause is, it is destroying the elegant work flow that AD or this document had had. I am extremely methodical in my work, and I take great pains to ensure my sizes and positioning. I have no hint of why this used to work but now does not. I need to take the images exported from AD, then fix their sizes in Pixelmator! Can someone explain to me please why my integer-sized items positioned on integer pixel coordinates have different sizes upon slicing? This thing is a torpedo!

Staff MEB Posted November 4, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi VectorCat, Thanks for the file. Two reasons why this is happening: - Some images/groups have a pale green stroke - the image itself it correctly aligned but the stroke is set to Align to centre which splits it between two rows/columns of pixels. Change the alignment of the stroke to inside or outside. Make sure its width is set to an integer pixel value. - a few groups/items are not using integer values, despite what it shows in the transform panel (their values are being rounded). Go to Preferences, User Interface, Decimal Places for Unit Types and change the Pixels value to 3 or more so you can see the whole number in the Transform panel.
