Precision of buffered areas

Ellie

Hi there,

I'm running this technically under a script, but it's also happening in gui mode so under here it goes. Version is 17.2; can provide dongle details if required.

I'm creating a bunch of buffer areas that have to be precisely on the whole metre. I find, though, that when I create a buffer - be it from the little button or LAYER_BOUNDS_EXPAND, it's always up to 35cm or so out (yes, when checking metadata, not just zooming). My original areas are showing up as precisely on the metre. What's happening?

We have a bunch of huge projects coming in that require this not to be happening so help would be very very much appreciated, even if just to see what I am missing.

Alternatively, a way to make elev grids etc line up with the metre is also welcome

Cheers!

Ellie

If it were just the grids, I'd say it was related to this: https://www.globalmapperforum.com/discussion/5874/dem-export-extends-slightly-beyond-crop-area but it's the vector data...

 - this square was generated from another square that was very much on the metre. (Cropped the top off the metadata box as it includes the client name)
