Auto correcting rectangle size in Illustrator CS6
Hello folks,
I am currently working in a Illustrator file that is 10% of the final print size. This is because the final size is 8,9 x 5,8 meters (15 x 7 times A1). It is therefor all my sizes have to be the EXACT size. Any flaws in sizes will be 10x as big on the final print.
So I am creating 15 x 7 A1 rectangles in my composition of 891 x 588,7 millimeters. 10% of a A1 should be 84,1×59,4mm. However, when I create a rectangle by this very size, Illustrator automatically changes it to 83,961 x 59,267 millimeters. This will result in a 5 pixel blank space on the 15 side, which means 50 pixels on the final size. I, but especially my boss ( -_-‘ ) would like this to be 0 pixels.
Does anyone know how to fix this auto correction? I think it will have something to do with the millimeters to pixel correction.
Kind regards,
Wesley.

For those who are interested; my question was solved on the Adobe forum.
The problem was with the pixel grid.
Begin quote:
Open the Transform panel (under Window > Transform OR press Shift+F8). Expand the Transform panel fully by clicking on the up-down arrows next to the name Transform & then uncheck the option ‘Align to Pixel Grid’. Turn off ‘Align New Objects to Pixel Grid’ from the panel’s flyout menu.Any time you create a Web profile document, this option is turned ON by default – check in the New Document dialog, under Advanced section. If your document is not intended for the Web, you can turn this option off.
End quote.Many thanks to CupertinoFruit.
