However, the size is in fact 1524mm x 1524mm. Why is there a discrepancy? <BR /> <BR /> I have also tried putting the view into Plotmaker at 1:200, in the translator I have to set the scale 'Custom(mm): 25' - why I don't know. But again, it gives me the same dimensions (1524x1524). <BR /> <BR /> If I publish from PlotMaker at EPS, and open this in Illustrator it will give me the CORRECT size, 1500x1500. However, the layers don't come through. <BR /> <BR /> Anybody care to shed any light on this issue? Oh, and I'm using ArchiCAD 8.1 - still trying to convince the company to upgrade to AC9.</T></DIV> Thu, 16 Dec 2004 07:09:40 GMT James B 2004-12-16T07:09:40Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/DWG-Scale-Problem/m-p/81205#M7958 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I've been exporting to DWG so I can open up in Adobe Illustrator and so it fits inside Illustrator to a scale of 1:2000. <BR /> <BR /> The model in ArchiCAD is 3000m wide and 3000m high - masterplanning work. <BR /> <BR /> In the DWG Translator I'm setting the scale as 'Custom(mm): 50,000' which will give me the correct scale in Illustrator - or so I hoped. <BR /> <BR /> In Illustrator the drawing should be 1500mm x 1500mm.
