PCBWAY interprets exported Gerbers slightly larger than actual size #7

Every project I export, the PCBWAY specification selection adds a bit to both x and y dimension when using the plugin. When manually uploading the generated zip with Gerbers by the plugin, the calculated dimensions are a bit better but still not perfect.

PCBWAY via plugin: pcbway

KICAD PCB editor: pcbviewer

KICAD Gerber Viewer: gerberviewer

PCBWAY Manual upload of the same generated gerber zip: manualpcbway

Hi,trevortjes Thanks very much for your feedback. Yes,we notice the situation. The size information is passed to us by kicad. I think it is caused by the selection of the outer size of the border. Let me see how to solve this problem. Next time if you still meet this kind of problem, change it to 100mm directly.
