Why does width had height proportions not change evenly?

[Jim_Palik]

My objects are all base on aspect ratios. 1:1 1:2 etc. When I select Maintain width and height proportions, the do not chang evenly. for example I have a 1:1 150 mm square rectangle. With "Maintain width and height  proportions" selected and I change the width to 140 mm the height changes to 139.993 mm. How do I fix this?

Ho do you change the width or height?
Use the link button to reserve the Width and Height ratio as it is.

If you are using the Transform panel:

Hello There! This is an old thread, but it seems that the Link button isn't locking the aspect ratio for me. It did on one image and now it is not working anymore.

What does not working mean? You can't just click on the button and lock them again?

That seems a normal way to get as close to 140 as makes no difference. Five significant figures is close enough. Adobe added more decimal places to display at some point, and it seems to have led to a lot of non-problems.
