When using the measuring tool that is not snapping to a grid point it can be just off the edge of something. So that makes your meaurement shorter or longer than it really is. The measurement is correct but you are not touching what you think you are. So really zoom in to make sure you are measuring where you think you are.

One other issue that could be happening is the Shapeoko and CC are internally using metric. So when measuring and converting to inches sometimes you get minor rounding errors. I use inch but using metric is somewhat more precise.

I don’t see where to set the grid spacing.

I found the grid spacing button and solved the problem. Thanks all!
