Hello, trying to understand this error or characteristic of Lightburn 1.4.05, with TTS 40.
I drew a hexagon and in the height and width measurements, I defined it as 100 x 100 mm and these measurements are actually applied to the hexagon, see the rulers, however the sides have different measurements, on the AB side I have 50 mm and on the BC side 55.9 mm, so the hexagon is not regular.
How to fix this?
Thanks

      When you use the numeric edits toolbar to change the width and height you are changing the geometric size of the shape. Since the top and bottom are sides of the hexagon whereas the left and right are corners, you are stretching the shape asymmetrically.

You can avoid this by changing the size of the hexagon in shape properties. Note that for all polygon objects that the size of the polygon is defined as the size of a circle that fully contains the polygon. Meaning the polygon is inscribed into the circle.
