Hello,
I am trying to import a CAD drawing at the "drawn" scale. Here are the settings my file is using to export:
Scale = 1:4500 (same scale as Illustrator document)
Drawing units = centimeters
So far I have not identified the correct combination of settings to bring this in at the correct scale.
I am trying to import at 100% with 1 unit = 1cm, but the drawing is huge.
Can anybody please offer a suggestion for how to do this?
Thanks!
Calculating the "actual scale value" from the graphic scale, which was generated by a plugin, provided the correct import settings.
5000 cm / 1.8173 cm = 2751
Import settings used: 2751 units = 1 CM
Not sure what is going on with the 1:4500 business, but it's from a plugin so I will keep pressing them for answers 🙂
