------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 19 02:35:21 -0800 2005 ------- I have worked with a fresh install of OO 2.0.1-1 and a newly created ~/.openoffice.org directory. I did the following changes in Tools -> Options -> OO Draw: - in General, set the units of measurement to mm - in Grid, select snap-to-grid and visible-grid, grid resolution (both axes) 5mm with 1 sub-division. I think the explanation in the difference of what I see and what you have found is the setting of the Units of Measurement. I went to mm because this gives me the best resolution (given the 2-digit-precision) with an easy-to-use unit. I will try (I am new to your issue tool) to join an attachment, where I did the exercise of (1) creating a source rectangle, (2) storing it in the gallery, and (3) retrieving it into the drawing three times: once with uom (units of measurement) set to inch, once set to cm and once set to mm. Since the grid points are not easy to see, I joined thin lines to make the gridding better visible). I then measured the size of the object retrieved from the gallery, with the initial setting of uom and with setting uom to mm. This illustrates the original problem and the difference with what you saw when you tried to reproduce the problem (I guess that your setting is in cm). Note: from the usage point of view, the precise reading of the measures is immaterial. What counts is the mis-match between the grid and the size of the objects. Such a mis-match upsets the "snap-to-grid" mechanism and makes the objects be placed with a more or less random offset, resulting in fuzzy drawings with line-ends / object-borders not precisely matching. You can see this easily in the joined example if you choose a large zoom (for instance 800 %). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
