sbe Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The problem lies in the target document. But why? → When I create a new document from scratch, copy/paste works. The shapes are extracted from a more extensive layout, that's why there are so many clipping paths and groups. I didn't want to change anything for demonstrative purposes. If you ungroup all the groups, for example, it works. Still, a simple copy-paste should never change the look. I have had the problem more often, so I would like to understand what the reason is.

Old Bruce Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Different DPI for the two documents leaps out at me. But I would expect the copy paste to honour the point size of the strokes regardless. sbe and loukash 2 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

And I didn't like it at all. sbe 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbe Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yes, so true! And how Affinity converts internally should not matter, the important thing is that the proportions to each other must always remain the same. I think there should also be the option in the main settings to always turn on "Scale stroke weight + Layer Effects settings with Object" by default (currently this is always off by default...) So one day, Serif willing, all of these handy little settings should be possible in an advanced "Transform Studio-Panel" incl. proportional scaling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideagonal Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Bug/Issue still present as of today, version 2... hope we don't reach v3.

This is true, with same DPI no width change.
