Can't get pixels unit in groups

[me2]

Hi, I want pixels units in groups. That is when I double-click into a group and it shows in a new tab, then the units should be pixels.
So I did what had always worked in older versions, I made a new document with units set to pixels, saved it as template and made sure the checkbox "use as default template" is on.
It's not working. I also restarted Designer so it should somehow get that I prefer pixels, but no, it shows centimeters in every group.
Kind regards
Mark

Welcome to Talk Graphics Mark. I've never noticed that before (I rarely use Edit Inside) This only appears to happen within a normal document. You could however use a web Document, even if you don't intend to use it to create a website. Double clicking to edit inside retains pixel measurements.

Thanks Egg! Tried it, but honestly I don't know where this is in Designer.
Could someone move this thread to Dear Xara...? I think there might be some little colorful bug in the code. I'll stick to an older version for some time.

Hi Mark,

Yes this is a small bug. The page units setting is not being transferred into the edit inside document.

However there is a workaround: Set up a scale factor of 1px to 1px in the main document. This works because the scale factor is correctly transferred to the edit inside document, including the units involved.

Good workaround
