Hello all!

 

I’m currently doing a masters project about branded environments. I have this Autocad file, and I need to convert it to a diferent scale (1:100), and also export it to pdf. so I can open it with Illustrator. Can anyone help me?

 

 

Many thanks,

Ricardo C.

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

 

What is your version of AutoCAD?

Hello!

 

The version is a trial of the AutoCad 2013 for Mac.

Hi Ricardo,

 

What do you mean "to convert it to a different scale (1:100)"

Do you want to set text objects height so that they will be readable at 1:100 scale?

 

Do you want to print entire plan on one sheet at 1:100 scale? If yes - then the plan in your drawing doesn't fit to A0 paper size at 1:100 scale.

 

Could you explain your task in more details?

 

Maxim

Hi!

 

What I need is the drawings at 1:100 scale, then exported as PDF so I can open it in Illustrator. I don’t know how Autocad works, so probably I’m not explaining myself the best way! 

 

Thanks!
