Keyboard increment not accurate

Question

Hi, I am grading a sewing pattern and need to move anchor points by 1 mm. I set my keyboard increment to 0.1 cm but when I move my points 10 times to get to 1 cm the distance ends up being 1,06. This increases exponentially as I grade bigger sizes, which is a big issue. How can I resolve this?

I have been having this issue for months, so it happens in new documents and I have closed and reopen the application several times. However I have just tried to reset my preferences and it looks like it did the trick 🙂
Hoping I won't have to do that again in the futur though! Thank you for your help!

Loise,

Seen from another possible side:

There are different kinds of corruption, some temporary.

In the hope of temporary ones, you can try to close down and reopen the application, then the application and the computer (on rare occasions in the past it has been several times but hardly now).

One is a corruption of a document; you can see whether the error also occurs in a new document; if not, you can start over in that or try to copy the artwork from the ailing one, in one go or in parts and see how much you can rescue.

Another one is preference corruption; you can reset your preferences; you can reset the preferences as described in the following link.

If you have customized settings that you wish to keep, first create a backup of these setting as described.
