Affinity Photo & Designer: Units in Transform Panel switch from Millimeters to Pixel when selecting Marquee or Lasso


Recommended Posts

I have set up my file in AP with millimeters as the overall unit but I just noticed that whenever I switch to a selection tool (like the rectangular marquee or the lasso, no matter what, though) the units in the Transform panel immediately switch to "px". They switch back to millimeters when I select another tool.

When I checked this behaviour in Designer, I had to realize that it's exactly the same there...

This can't be anything but a bug, can it?

Hi Lorox,
This is by design. Pixel selections are measured in pixels no matter the document units (Transform panel). You can however check the selection size in the selected document unit in the Info panel while you draw it. There's an issue on Windows preventing it from displaying the selection size in px in the Transform panel.
