James,

Been busy joining, just back from the shop.

However this time the placed files are massive in comparison to a piece of a3 paper on Illustrator (the drawings are 215mm in length).

Could you elaborate on that?

I am afraid everyone else is busy joining in other ways.

Past 9 PM here.

Thanks Jacob,

So basically I have drawn flatware on Autocad, they are 215mm in length; however when placed into illustrator onto a piece of a3 paper the drawings scale themselves up much larger.

Thanks

James,

I presume you mean that it is exceeding a A3 size Artboard.

Pondering.

James,

I have done this previously without issue by saving the CAD file as a 2004 .dwg file.

Was that into CS5 or into a previous version?

This is the only CAD scaling issue thread I have been able to find, and that is quite different.

Sorry.

The others are still busy joining or stuffing themselves or something.

23.25 PM here.

I'm in UK, just have the time set wrong.... forgive me but what is joining?

Thanks for finding that article; I have since fixed this issue but am unsure how I did so!

James,

When Illy behaves strangely, or maybe rather not at all, she may need a shake up to become fully awake. You may do that by snatching away her present preferences of behaviour, which may be done at different levels, the lowest one being to put her to sleep and waking her up again.

Joining is carpentering without metal fasteners.
