mpalin1943 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hello, I need to import a PDF plan but there is nothing on there to scale from on only 1:200@A3. Any ideas on how I scale it? Usually I just take a know measurement and use that. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 have you got anything of a know length on the PDF? Quote Link to comment

Can you import it then scale it by distance + make the long edge 420mm, then scale it symmetrically by a factor of 200? Quote Link to comment
mpalin1943 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have figured it out. Set the layer you're importing to to the same scale as the PDF. In this case I set the layer to 1:200, which is what is stated on the PDF. 1 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 That will work as long as the PDF re-scale ever so slightly when created. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I would always calibrate the PDF before starting. If you're out by a small amount in the PDF that translates massive problem in your drawings and onsite. Quote Link to comment
