(AD - Mac) Need to make stroke width of 0.001pt. How?

[hannah]

Dear Affinity-Community, hopefully one of you knows something :

My client needs a file (pdf) that requires some lines (strokes) to be RGB-red and have a width of exactly 0.001pt. This hairlines will later define the cutting lines for caoutchouc, so I guess some kind of laser cutting. When i set the stroke width to 0.001point it jumps to zero!?!

What do I do? Any work-arounds or solutions? Thank you so much.

In this case, What You See is not What You get! The value entered is remembered, but the value you see depends on the Display Property for entered widths. Go to Edit > Properties and you should find the facility to display widths with different numbers of decimal places. I am not at my desktop PC at present so I cannot be too precise.

Thank you John, indeed what we see is rarely what we get...
