I'm using the circle tool, I'm cutting a 1-3/8" circle.. The radius shows .687 and the size = 1.374 x 1.374.. That looks good. but on the screen is not a circle at all. Its actually looks like an egg.. Its definitely the circle tool and not the oval tool. Is that normal? I haven't really cut out circles yet.

It's probably the resolution on your specific screen!
I'll bet that if you draw a square, you will see the same distortion when you compare each side.

Thats it. I'm on my work PC playing around.. didn't ever notice it on my home PC. I just realized my work PC resolution is different. Thought i was losing my mind there for a second.
