cricut design studio sizing?

I have recently purchased the Expression and now the DS. My problem is the sizing on DS. How come when I select a size on the DS keyboard - as soon as I manipulate the shape I end up with a far bigger size when I cut? It's difficult for me to explain but what I am saying is, if I want a shape to be say 3" and set this size can I not then change the shape etc.? The width & height in the Shape Properties box changes to higher when I stretch/widen etc so obviously the size is governed by this am I right? So do I just choose a smaller size and then stretch it to my required size? any help would be appreciated please.

Hi,

I don't know the answer to your question as I use Sure Cuts Alot -- although I do have DS -- just never use it no that I have SCAL -- but if you join the yahoo group -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cricutcutter/ -- and ask your question there I'm sure one of the ladies will be able to answer your question.

You might also want to check out the SCAL group as lots of them have DS too . . .
