It seems that the Illustrator artboard information is not carried over / the top-leftmost object
defines the point 0,0 - workaround is to create a dummy rectangle with no fill & stroke

document.addEventListener('copy', function (e) {
//don't block the ace editor copy/paste
if(document.activeElement.nodeName!="TEXTAREA"){
e.preventDefault();
var projectSVG=project.exportSVG({asString:true,precision:3})
if (e.clipboardData) {
e.clipboardData.setData('text/plain', projectSVG);
} else if (window.clipboardData) {
window.clipboardData.setData('Text', projectSVG);
}
}
});
