    OK - you set up a nice grid to aid in your designs. However - you discover size issues in your final design. Not refering to scaling issues. That is a totally different issue.

    Go ahead and scratch your head. Scream at the sky !

    Use the XML editor and examine the XML grid definitions.

    If you see the following, then this just might be the cause:

    That is supposed to be a 8x8 mm grid!


    Easy to fix - just enter the correct spacing using the XML editor. 

    To prevent future heartburn, design failures, or Apocalypse Now scenarios; I suggest inspecting this everytime you create a new grid. If you use the same type of grid in all your designs - create a template. 

    If you have already created a design with a bad grid spacing, I have no easy fix.
