    Placing large .dxf into AI CS5

    Tus_P Community Member

      When I place a long .dxf into AI CS5 it is scaling the artwork even after I have selected 'original size' in the dialogue box.

      This is only happening on 1 computer and it does not tell us this is happening, only found out on printing. On the other computer it is placing even though it is bigger than the workspace and we can then rearrange the artwork to fit in side the space,

      I'm assuming it has something to do with the size of the workspace canvas (not artboard, I understand artboards can be resized, I am reffering to the actual workspace canvas) on further research I have found the canvas is a fixed size and cannot be made bigger.

      Wouldnt be a problem, except that the .dxf I'm trying to place is longer than the workspace and cannot be scaled.

      There is obviously a setting on one computer that is not on the other, but I cannot find it.

      Thanks for your help!
