However, when I publish a drawing from my layout book, and open it in autocad, it keeps the scale of the layout book, 1/4"=1, or whatever it may be.<BR /> <BR /> Is there a way to publish from the layout book, a drawing scaled at say 1/4"=1', into a dwg file, then open it in autocad, and have its measurements be 1=1, as they are with the published dwg's from the view map and project map?<BR /> <BR /> thanks for the help!</T></DIV> Tue, 30 May 2023 11:45:04 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-30T11:45:04Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/DWG-publishing-from-Layout-Book-vs-Project-Map-or-View-Map/m-p/51904#M66192 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>When I publish drawing from my project map or view map to DWG, it keeps all the measurements accurate in autocad, no matter what scale I have the drawing as in archicad.

When you publish/save from the Layout to DWG the entities drawn in the ArchiCAD Layout should be in AutoCAD's Paperspace or Layout window, and the view(s)/drawing(s) placed on the ArchiCAD Layout should be Viewports into the Modelspace in AutoCAD.
