Path operation changes dimensions of shapes
When I use a difference path operation on two squares - a larger 10 mm and smaller 1 mm square, the final object changes in dimension slightly. The final square is 9.993 and 10.007 mm which is really weird. My units are all in mm. Is this a problem I can solve easily? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
