Hi @LordOfBikes,

You are right! The source is in inch while the destination is in mm.
After I changed the unit in Current Drawing Preference, the copied objects is in correct dimension.

I just want to make clear for other reader, and you asked for report.
So this is the "before" condition:
Current Drawing Preferences --> Main Drawing Units --> inch
Application Preferences --> tab Defaults --> Unit: mm


"After" :
Current Drawing Preferences --> Main Drawing Units --> mm
Application Preferences --> tab Defaults --> Unit: mm


Thank you for your help.
So this is not a bug.

There's another confusion actually,
in the source file, with the "before" condition
So when I measure using Info --> Distance point to point:
it shows correct dimension in mm.

Then I changed both units to inch.
Using Info --> distance point to point,
it shows correct dimension in mm.
I thought I should see the correct dimension in inch.

Thanks again!
