Hi-I've been making a repeat pattern by tiling a design: Working in a 4in square for the tiles.I group my objects, place a no-outline no-fill 4in square on top of that design. Then use the intersect tool to cut out a clean 4in square tile.With a 4x4in document grid, (snap to grid + snap to object) I ctr C + ctr V then slide the new tiles to 'click' into place along the grid - horizontally and vertically - until I have the desired size of my repeat pattern for printing.It worked perfectly for 2 weeks, the object outlines of each new tile fitting perfectly with its neighbours.And now they don't, they're out by a tiny gap on almost all the object out lines on all sides. I've tested my earlier patterns within their original docs and they all work, but the newest documents don't, and I'm baffled as to why not. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't changed anything. I lie, I added a fill to the objects but initially that didn't prove a problem either. Any ideas? I'm a bit desperate now as my print deadline is looming.Thanks!
Update from CorelDRAW Community Eskimo Could you provide a sample file - where things aren't working the way you want - that others can try working with? Better still, also another file where things are working as desired? If I've been fighting with something for too long, sometimes a fresh pair of eyes will see something that I'm missing.

TIling really not working.cdr
Last one.
Looking at some of this, it appears to me that some of your artwork was not positioned quite correctly before cutting the tiles. Note that some of the artwork is duplicated between the top piece and bottom piece on each of these.
You are also going to have a tiny bit of weirdness - perhaps not a problem at the scale at which you are using this; I don't know - where you appear to be cutting a closed curve (example would be the rim of the pocket watch). If you select one of the nodes on that curve and "break apart", then it is no longer a close curve, and it will turn out more like this after using the Intersection operation:
