Just testing what happens, when I copy something using an AD 2 function to AD 1.
1. Write some Artistic Text in AD 2 and apply a mesh on it. Copy it.
2. Paste into AD 1.
Result: In AD 1 the copied element gets much smaller. In my case from 60 mm to 17,428 mm. Both documents had the same resolution and colour space. Copy as SVG for both versions.
