I'm running VW 2019 Student Version on Mojave. I am having trouble getting the accurate mm size on my text. I am trying to create 3mm text and convert that text to polylines. I set the "page millimeters" to 3 in the set size window. After typing my word and converting to polylines the Object info pallet shows that the height of my letters is only 2.063 (see image below). Is there some sort of difference between page mm and standard mm? Is there a doc setting I need to adjust?
My end goal is to be able to convert to polylines, group and be able to place based off of the top/center of the group. If there is a solution that just includes resizing my polylines after converting text and then being able to grab based off of the top center resizing box (when I try to grab that box I am only able to use the resizing function not the move function--see second image) I would be happy with that too.
