Joachim_L Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Strange title for this post, but my English is not good enough to give it a better title. Step: Create a polygon and transform it to 60 x 60 mm width and height Result: The outer object box is bigger than the polygon itself I assume where it comes from: You can possibly distort the shape until it gets the dimensions you typed into the transform panel. To get the correct dimensions you have to convert the shape into curves. An extra step I would love to see eliminated. See attached image for clarification and more shapes with this "problem". Edit: It seems to be, that text wrap takes the shape dimension into account and not the shape box dimension, which is correct.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2019 On the context toolbar is an option called "Cycle Selection Box".... This is not a beta issue, and has been discussed before. We think the behaviour is correct.
