Hi, with latest LMTX, the size (width) of external figures is ignored in floats, while it works outside of floats and with MkIV. It also works with metapost figures (e.g. dum library). \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \starttext \startplacefigure[location=here] \externalfigure[cow][width=2cm] \stopplacefigure \stoptext Hraban
