Why are arcs and radius' based on resolution?

[Bryce]

I know I have wondered this before and never quite found a solution but if I copy from one document that's 300 dpi vs another that is 600 dpi the radius' and arcs will all double (or shrink going the other way)? Is that a bug or a feature because it doesn't really make sense to me and I need to understand.

First day user of designer today.

First thing I did was set my document to mm.

I need every dialog to be set in mm too, not pixels, points or whatever, including strokes, radius, character and paragraph toolbars.etc

Likewise if im working in pixels, every dialog should be in pixels too.

Hi Bryce

My sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, could you please provide a screenshot or example document showing what you're referring to?

Hi marcNOR

With your documents units set to MM, you should find that most values will be shown in MM, excluding a few notable exceptions such as Font & Stroke size (shown in pt).

Could you please provide a screenshot showing the dialog you're referring to?
