Adjust shapes accurately

Hello everybody!

Somehow I have difficulty scaling shapes properly. The shapes cannot be adjusted accurately. The edges are different so there is no flush edge. Every time I scale them, they don't fit together in the end. Apparently, the size of the shape affects the "edge". As a result, the shapes can no longer be neatly arranged along the grid. I would like to do it like this:

Does anyone have a recommendation for me?

Hi @joshua1990 

Do you use the last version(2020/5)?

You could revert all settings for the two shapes, like the "Border" and "Line", then check if it is sloved.

A kudos would be appreciated  🙂 

 

 

Thanks!

But that is not the issue.

The issue is that the edges from the shapes are different to each other

As you can see, they are on the same line but the shape above starts before the other one
