Describe the bug

The size of the shapes is given in PT units, while the page setup is given in CM or inches. So the problem is that I needed to make a rectangle box for a poster and I googled the conversion between CM (my reference) and PT (draw io units for shapes). I found that the equivalence is 1 PT ~ 0.03 CM. I made the rectangle with this calculation and after printing and checking, the rectangle was not the correct size. After verifying by making a rectangle shape of the size of the page, it seems like draw io calculates a rate of 1PT ~ 0.02 CM? is this correct? What is the equivalence between PT and CM supposed to be?

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

• draw.io version 21.5.0
