Swatch pattern in my CAD reduces scale when I copy and paste it into another illustrator document. Sometimes the actual CAD itself will also shrink. How do I stop this from happening?

Question

When I copy and paste my CAD/shape from one illustrator document to another, the scale of the swatch pattern in the CAD/shape gets smaller.

I have checked the document settings and everything seems to be the same.

What could be causing this?

It could be caused by the difference between a Large Canvas document and a Regular Canvas document. You can check if it is a Large or a Regular Canvas document by zooming in and out as much as you can and look at the percentage.

A Large Canvas can zoom out to 0,31% and zoom in to 6400%
A Regular Canvas can zoom out to 3,13% and zoom in to 64000%
