Dimensions (globally) do not display accurately after recent update to v25.0.1 - CRITICAL ERROR
I'm experiencing a critical issue that has me halted on a current project. This occurred after recently updating Illustrator to 25.0.1. I've been working on a file with precise dimensions for all shapes and lines, and suddenly dimensions for all shapes and lines are globally incorrect (or are displaying as such). After typing in exact dimensions for creating a rectangle with the rectangle tool, a "10 mm x 10 mm" square becomes "10.1764 mm x 10.1764 mm". This is a critical error, and has halted me from continued work on my current project. Expedited help is greatly appreciated.
Update: I just checked another machine with Illustrator v25.0.0, and all dimensions display accurately. Looks like the culprit lies in Illustrator update 25.0.1.
Update: I reverted back to Illustrator 25.0.0, and Reset Preferences which brought back the correct display of dimensions. I'll wait until there's a fix to version 25.0.1 before updating.

I assume it does not happen anymore... but if it does, please check if you have Use Preview Bounds enabled in Preferences > General. When it’s enabled, Ai adds the strokes into the calculated size of an object.
