Copy and paste scale

Hi all when I first started librecad I drew up a template with border etc , so when I did a finished drawing I could copy and paste it over to the template for printing .

But every time I copy and paste a drawing over to this template it’s really big , both were drew on scale  1 . I checked on dimensions on the pasted over drawing and it’s that’s what has grown

Anyone else had this ? And how do you resolve it please  ?

I have no clue about the reason.
If you provide the files for the template and the drawing here (with More v - Upload a file) I can have a look if I find the reason.
What is your LibreCAD version and OS?

In the title block template the units are set to "None". If you change that to inch (as in Body Assembly) all is fine.

Don't imagine, Help, About, Copy, Paste and we can know exactly which of the current LibreCad versions you downloaded. Similar for Windows.
