    I want to tile the page into 12 parts Then print them separately. (I’ll print out Sewing Patterns for sewing) (So they has to be as precise as possible.)

     

    Question 1) So I created 12 boxes.

     

    A4 Page Size : 210 x 297

     

    210 / 4 = 52.5 (Somewhat It turned into 52.6 when I put them?)

     

    210 / 3 = 297.3 = 99 (Somewhat It turned into 99.1 when I put them?)

     

    Am I doing It right?

     

    Question 2) Is the stroke size 0.775 too thick for this purpose?

     

    As you see the right side of the boxes on the rigtht size go beyond the page.

     

    Box Size : 52.6 x 99.100

     

    ?

    The calculations are correct for me. No round-off errors.

    Question 2) Is the stroke size 0.775 too thick for this purpose?

    Open Inkscape preferences [shift+ctrl+p] then [Tools] and set [Bounding Box to use: Geometric]. Now when you set the width and height of your rectangles, stroke width will be ignored so you can use any stroke.

    (I must admit, I'm not sure if I answered your questions correctly.)
