How do you measure exact measurements on the virtual mat? Example I want to cut a rectangle exactly 3.5 x 4.5 and when I measure it on the mat, when I cut it it is smaller than I set up.
Thank, Belindapooley

Hi, I don't measure on the virtual mat, I use the properties box and enter the exact size if want.

I use the virtual mat rulers only for placing colored papers to cut out multiple objects.

Here's a pic of the area for size in the properties pane. If this is not what you meant try and agin to explain since I often misinterpret questions.

That's just what I was going to suggest, it should be exactly right then.
