Embedded document font sizes in the units of parent document

[lukauskas]

Hi,

Currently the documents embedded in the Affinity Designer documents have their own font-size scale based on their document size. 
Is there a way to make the embedded document font sizes correspond to the parent document ones?

That is set a font size inside an embedded document to be equal to parent's 5pt (which might be, say, 8pt in the embedded document).

So far I have found a workaround to set the embedded document size to be identical to its size in the parent document, but am wondering if there is a more convenient way to achieve this as the workaround requires updating everything every time embedding is resized?

I'm now aware of a method to do this.  The embedded document is shown as is..  If you were to edit the embedded and change the font size, that would be the only way i could see you could get those results.

My question was more about the units in the embedded document, rather than how to achieve the effect.

Currently the units in the embedded document are independent on the units of the parent document, and I was wondering if it would be possible to link the two.

It is not possible, currently.

And the only way I can see that this could work, in general, would be if you were to completely and exactly cover the document page with the embedded document's page, rescaling all the other content in the embedded document, too.
