Fusion not understanding resolution of attached canvas file?

[tiktuk]

I'm attaching an image as a canvas. It's a TIFF width a width of 8025 pixels at 348,002 dpi. That should result in an canvas 585,73 mm wide. Instead Fusion creates the canvas as being 17.488 mm wide.

The reason I'm caring is because I want to import a few differennt images of the same object from the same angle. The images all have correct dimensions/resolutions so ideally I would be able to import them into Fusion and they would all have the correct size.

I know I can use the calibrate tool but I can't find any place to enter the calibration factor manually. I would like to scale them by exactly the same amount of course.

I can do this using the scale field but why have to do the calculations by hand when Fusion have all the required information already..?

Hi @tiktuk

Thanks for posting! I believe Fusion uses a fixed DPI when inserting attached canvases, which is why you may be experiencing this issue.

The Calibrate or Scale options should allow you to work around this problem easily.

This does bring up an interesting point - that you are required to scale or calibrate an image that may have been edited to be the "correct" size before insertion. If you'd like to see DPI settings included in a future update to Fusion 360, please post on the  Fusion 360 Ideastation - we appreciate your input.

Exactly. I will post to the Ideastation.

And ask about the calibrate tool in another thread.

Cool this thread is from 2018, that's 6 years ago. Still no dpi based canvas scale functionality and the ideastation link above is archived 😂😠😬
