Normal circle form and pie chart take different size

Hi,

I´m trying to create a piechart a certain size (60mm in diameter). What I've noticed is that if I choose the piechart tool, click on my artboard and insert the size value 60mmx60mm it will generate a piechart that is not the same size as a normal circle form created with the same method. Does anyone know why, and how I could work around this? Attached image is of a circle form to the left and a piechart to the right, both have the same size values.

Thanks!

Those charts are way off.

I just took a screenshot of the image I created, they weren't to scale in the image I posted, it was just to illustrate my problem, i.e. the chart was smaller than the circle even though they had been assigned the same value.

as far as i can tell, charts just kinda suck and no one really knows why. so scaling it to match is the only workaround :/

Hi Elin

You can scale a chart without losing any of the chart functions. If you dragged out the chart to be 60mm but it drew itself too small, you can match the 60mm size you need by scaling the chart up 115%. Simply select your chart, double click the scale tool in the tool panel, check “uniform, and enter 115%.

Hope that helps
