haneadino,

When you work in mm/cm/m, the easiest and safest scale to use is 1:10; you can just use mm instead of cm with the same values.

It is also quite simple to get the right resolution in raster images and raster effects (Effect>Document Raster Effects Settings), just multiply the needed final resolution by 10.

Make sure which final resolution is needed, talk to the printer; you may be surprised: it depends on the intended viewing distance.

Please be a little less dramatic and talk with your print vendor about working in scale.

You could perhaps do this in half the size or a tenth of the size. Not that if you place images you need to convert resolution as well.

Just pick up the phone and talk.

It is three pieces of vector graphic, and some text below.

And one of the vector graphic have to be placed in the middle of the 10 meters, and also the text have to be in the middle.

So what to do?

Is it not possible to work with big format in Illustrator?

Hi. As you can saw, the maximum size for Illustrator documents is 577.95 cms, there are differents reason for this limit, one is the performance. Normally, the users don't create huge documents, instead they create smaller documents for example at 25% and then print to 400%.
