It's very unusual for a printer to have a printed page at 5 meters by 5 meters in size, so wouldn't this end up something like the drawn square going way way far off outside the printed page boundaries that you would normally be working with in Illustrator? How would you expect to see the result of a 5x5 meter square when opened in AI at 1:1 scale?ĪI normally works on a sheet of printed paper. Maybe let's focus on just this one particular example here. > Illustrator, CadTool is at default 1:1, so this tool writes 5 meters by 5 meters. > Example A: In Moi3D i draw a 5x5 metter square, export it in AI file (the top view), open it in I guess it does not work like that though. Re: calibration - I was thinking that maybe with CadTools you could pick a line and tell it: "This line is 5 meters long", and then it would know what scale to use. Or could bring a caption like Scale 1:5.Īs far as I know there isn't any particular way to attach a scale factor value to a "view", in Illustrator you're basically working on a printed page that's contained within a sheet of paper and the units that geometry have are in "points" units on that page with 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. > Again, i'm not sure if i'm following, but yes, if the exported view brings that specific information, and the How do you get a 1 meter line to start with, does it have to measure 1 meter in page size, shooting way out past the printed page boundaries? > i set the scale, like 1:5, and the Dimensioning Tool put the dimensions accordnly, so when Don't know if i understand your question, anyway, on the Dimensioning Tool Preferences
