Respect resolution of attached canvas image

Respect resolution of attached canvas image

Example: I'm attaching an image as a canvas. It's a TIFF width a width of 8025 pixels at 348 dpi. That should result in an canvas 585,73 mm wide. Instead Fusion creates the canvas as being 17.488 mm wide.
 

I know I could use the calibrate tool but or the scale field but why have do the calculations by hand when Fusion have all the required information already..?

this would be nice but I don't mind doing the "calibrate"

the main issue is the "texture filtering" (maybe also reduced resolution) Fusion applies to the canvas, sometimes makes it difficult to work with

I absolutely hate having to do calibration.  Like... if I know my image is 300 dpi, why can't I just tell fusion it's 300 dpi?  My scanner is going to be a thousand times more accurate than me measuring something by hand. 😞

Yeah, considering the precision of the rest of Fusion it feels ridiculous having to do this imprecise calibration by hand.

I just tried attaching a canvas for the first time and was pretty surprised Fusion 360 ignored the DPI.  Such a simple thing with (as far as I can imagine) no negative unintended consequences.
