Until you convert the outline to an object, it will not display the true outside dimensions.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 19 May 2006 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a3878_7"></a><p><b>From: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3878.7">#7</a>]<br /> 19 May 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3878.6">#6</a>] 19 May 2006</p> <p>David:</p> <p>I understand what you're saying but if I draw a 2x3 rectangle and make the outline any size my drawing dimension still reads 2x3.

Change dimensions to 2"x3" and you are good to go.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 19 May 2006 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a3878_10"></a><p><b>From: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3878.10">#10</a>]<br /> 20 May 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3878.9">#9</a>] 20 May 2006</p> <p>David:</p> <p>I wish I had discovered this forum years ago when I first started engraving.
