gchianese Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 We are having trouble importing dxf files correctly. Typically we are importing eps files from illustrator into Flash. Then we export the flash file to dxf. At this point all units are in inches. The problem occurs when the file is imported in vectorworks. The file is blown way out of scale. I have gotten it close but not exact by setting the dxf units to 1728 with the drawing units at one. The layer scale is set to 1: 1. Is there a way to do the translation more accuratly?

Guest Posted March 21, 2000 Share Posted March 21, 2000 You may be encountering a problem from all of the translation, between Illustrator and Flash to our program. The accuracy of the document may be off slightly, and if you are very close to the scale in 1:1 try using setting a custom scale by going to the Layer Scale box and click on the radio button in the lower right this will allow you to specify your own scale try setting this to a scale that is closer to the imported file.
