Oh, maybe dragging the transform gadget by its center has something to do with letting it snap. Sorry about that. Still not sure about transform object snapping, maybe I need to try some different raster widths. Thanks!You need to set the bottom of the coin as the pivot point:
Use snapping to component
enable Pivot mode and let transform gadget snap to the bottom mid point of the coin
call Tools->Coord System and hit "Burn Pivot Point" to make it permanent
Call the transform tool; you can now see where the bottom point is at the Y field
paste in "0.0932" at the Y entry field and you´re set.
