In that case I needed only parts of a layout to be plotted on adhesive foil. I have no time to argue. When it is like it is, that's a pity. I'm out.

Thanks for publishig my post and your fast reply. Regarding the Affinity Photo case - this is still the behaviour in the most current version 1.83.641. I did not notice it before. To be honest, that is even worse than the issue in Affinity Designer, because even my old Photoshop 6.0 is able to create a new picture from the clipboard in the right dimensions. It would be really great if this could be fixed. But let's not get off topic, this thread is about a similiar issue with Affinity Designer. In my very rough understanding of program logic, the contents of the clipboard in AD should not be the pixel on the screen but the meta information of the object (e.g. the xml or json or whatever which says: "I am a square with that color and that border and dimensions of 5x5cm and I come from a AD document with 300dpi resolution etc."). (Don't get me wrong, I really like working with AD - no comparison to Illustrator which was really painful - but in this case, I'm a bit disappointed by AD since I trusted in the correct dimensions and already sent files in the wrong dimensions to printshop...)

Hi, I encounter the same issue. It is quite easy to reproduce. Create a new Affinity Designer document for print. Resoltion is 300dpi, Units are mm. Create a new vector object, for example a square of size 5x5cm Mark it and press Ctrl-C (or menu Edit > Copy to Clipboard, makes no difference) Go to New > New from clipboard The document created has a resolution of 96 dpi, units are pixel, and the square has a size of 156,3x156,3mm. This might be "developer logic", but is not the behaviour I expected. Video_2020-06-29_085152.wmv
