topic How do I publish .dwg files to scale? in Collaboration with other software https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/How-do-I-publish-dwg-files-to-scale/m-p/129352#M13782 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I need to figure out how to publish .dwg files at 1/8" = 1'-0" scale. It seems my .dwg files are all 1 to 1 when published. I have found the part in the translator about "Value of 1 DXF/DWG Drawing Unit In ArchiCAD:". The problem is I have no clue what a drawing unit in ArchiCAD is, or it's value in relation to any other CAD program such as (The Evil Darkside) AutoCad. The choices given are 1 meter, 1 milimeter, 1 inch, 1 foot, Custom mm and Custom inch. I'm sure I could use the custom setting, I know also to expand 1 to 1 to 1/8" inch scale, multiply size by a factor of 9600. <BR /> <BR /> So, what do I do? I am just totally clueless, and have a new architect I'm sending drawings to that finds it too difficult to just expand by 9600 and keep on working like I do, and most everyone else does in these situations. <BR /> <BR /> Thanks for the help, guys!</T></DIV> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:28:57 GMT Anonymous 2008-07-18T23:28:57Z How do I publish .dwg files to scale? https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/How-do-I-publish-dwg-files-to-scale/m-p/129352#M13782 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I need to figure out how to publish .dwg files at 1/8" = 1'-0" scale.
