Andrew Mac Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is it possible to import pdf docs to scale in VW11? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Not sure, however you can use Scale Objects on a PDF. As long as you have a known dimension it works well. Also, try Ungrouping an imported PDF, sometimes you will get the actual vector data which can be snapped to which can help in determining accurate scale. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Try setting the design layer scale to match the scale of your pdf. Then follow Peter's advice to confirm or fix the scale. (you can also snap without ungrouping) Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I don't see the option in VW11 where I can import a PDF file only an image file or pic file or your standard dwg, dxf Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Did you try a drag & drop onto a properly scaled design layer? Did you mean VW11? I don't think that had the PDF Import. But, Import PDF is available in the VW2011 industry series and Designer, I don't know about Fundamentals. If you have any of the industry series or designer, change to the pro workspace to see if the import option shows up. -B Quote Link to comment
barkest Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 In 2012 you can just drag the pdf into an open doc (straight onto the design layer). Try it for 2011 Quote Link to comment
