---> I made an error in the previous post; below is the corrected version: <---
1. Draw a line using the Line tool. Set it to 0 points in Height, and the Width and Top to something arbitrary, say 50 each. 2. Now zoom in close and set the Stroke > Line Width to 10 points. Notice that the line width expands both up and down. That's annoying. I would expect the stroke width to expand down, not both up and down. Why? Because now that the line is 10 points in stroke width, the top of the line is no longer at 50 pts. It's at 45 points. And the implication is that even a 1 point wide stroke width line set at 50 Top actually set to 49.5 and not really 50. This makes using the Top field to set the line's position on the page much less reliable. Is there something I'm missing? It doesn't make sense that one field's value would make the value of other fields inaccurate. --Doug On Mon, Jun 8, 2020 at 1:06 PM Doug <dbailey4...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just noticed something annoying. > > Draw a line using the Line tool.
