Conversion pixels to cm PROBLEM

Hi Guido,

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I believe the problem is that the CentimeterstoPixels property has to do with how it displays on your monitor, not how it will print. Your display will stretch x and y disproportionally depending on your display dimensions and your video card display setting (e.g., a 1280 x 1024 display setting on a 17" x 10.5" monitor would result in the x dimension having to be stretched considerably to fit the screen.

However, screen pixels have no bearing on the printing. If you want a rectangle to print at 2"' x 3", you should make it 2" x 3" in the rectangle's size properties, not on the screen.

I hope this helps.

Keep Excelling.

When you specify object dimensions with code you use 'points' - the conversion method is CentimetersToPoints

A point is 1/72 of an inch.

to make a shape 5 cm high you would use code like:

Thanks guys, I've tried both your suggestions and learned a thing or two.
