Design Review calculates scale incorrectly

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I recently published a dwf file in which most of the viewports are scaled to 1" = 30'. I was attempting to demonstrate the 'measure' utility to a colleague and noticed that DR was calculating the distances incorrectly - it measures the length of my 30' scale bar (in multiple sheets) at 42.4', and my 80' scale bar in the locus plan at 113'. I have created dwfs before where this was not a problem, and am assuming that this is an issue with my drawing. However, I double-checked the viewport and the scale is 1:30. I also checked the scale in Civil3D's drawing settings (that's the program I'm using) and it's also set to 1" = 30'. What gives?

FYI - I am using a sheetset to generate a dwf for my entire planset. Could this issue have something to do with the fact that I have one sheet at 80 scale and others at 30 scale?

Thanks for the help,

Evan

Please increase the precision in your DWF file. You do so by increasing the
vector DPI of the DWF6 ePlot pc3 file of Civil3D. An example of how to do
this with Autodesk DWG TrueView can be found at
http://dwf.blogs.com/beyond_the_paper/2006/06/increase_precis.html
The process is similar for Civil3D.
