Topic 4: Landmark Essentials 2.5h Course – Trouble Viewing PDF on Design Layer 1
michaelk replied to Thaddeus's question in Troubleshooting
Without resorting to some legacy features, while layer visibility is anything other than Active Only, you can only see layers that are either gray or visible and they must be the same scale as the active layer. In general, most layers will be set to something close to your expected output. An exception might be when drawing 2D details. For example, if you are drawing a building and using 1/4" scale, and your scupper detail is going to be 3"=1', some people like to draw that on a layer that is 3"=1' so the arrow heads, dashed lines, hatches etc. look exactly like they will look in the viewport. But that detail will never have to be viewed along with other design layers. There are two methods to importing PDFs to the correct scale: 1. Import it in at whatever scale you are using and use Modify > Scale Objects to scale the pdf to your drawing or 2. Set the scale of an empty layer to the scale of the pdf drawing. Import the pdf. Change the scale of the layer to the scale you want to use. -

Go to Tools > Organization > Design Layers Tab. Make sure all the design layers are the same scale. -

Converting Unflattened Vectorized PDFs into DWG files
michaelk replied to Leland Henry's topic in Workflows
It depends on how the pdf was made. import the pdf into VW. select it. Modify>ungroup. you will get a scary message about high level objects. Agree to it. even though you just ungrouped it you will probably have a group. If so ungroup again. The top item will be an image of the PDF. Move it aside. the next object should be a rectangle. Delete it. if your PDF was created using vectors you should have groups of lines. you can edit that- 1 reply

Interesting question @Tom W.. I would also ask if there are any objects very far away from the origin.
