I would like to change the conversion factor of meters to feet to a more accurate value rather that 0.3048. In my place we use the meter to feet conversion with 3.2808333. It makes a lot difference when the decimals does not carry up to 7 decimal place.

I am trying to use the FIELD function to automatically display the Y value for floor levels. I have chosen 'object', then selected a line (floor level line lifted to the correct height in the Y axis) then selected 'start' as the property to display, Format: Current units. The problem is the current units are mm but I want the floor levels displayed in Metres but when I try to change this by using the 'Additional Format' button the 'Conversion factor' box is greyed out so I cant convert the value and it wont let me manually edit the Field expression or else I would manually add [1e-007]

When using mtext and a background mask and try to modify the border offset factor from the default of 1.5 , the factor reverts back to 1.0. If I type in 1.25 or 1.75, it will not save it and revert to 1.0. If I put in a larger number like 2.0 or 3.0, that factor will be retained.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been sent a DWG floor plan from a firm in South America. The existing file is Type: Decimal and Units to scale: Meters. We need to convert the file to a useable architectural and feet set up. I know that I will need to scale the existing dwg however I am not sure what the exact steps are or what I should scale it by. Should I change the drawing units first and then scale? Or the other way around? Biggest thing I need is the scale factor.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am doing some layout work for a client. Very basic, 9m display stand background. Needs a few images and logo's dropped in. Have a couple of basic questions I am a bit stuck on.
1 - I understand 300DPI is standard print. I read about 150 being ok. What is the norm for images of this size?
2 - I have some images that I could really do with scalling up. They are PSD format. FOr something of this size do you think it would be acceptable to scale up to maybe double the size?
I have used the digital color meter in apples os to find rgb colors in a image. I was trying to find one that would give me the closest cmyk equvelent to the web color on my clients site.
The problem is that i used a hex value in Photoshop to create the colors on a bizcard. but all of them came out darker that desired. This is the second time it has happened. I am starting to believe that hex values and cmyk are not friends.
I do not have 500+ dollar for a new screen. I own a LG 2750 that was as close to an apple monitor ad i could see (compared with the naked eye and some gradients as a baseline). This monitor makes everything look brighter than it is so i compensat for that by making things slightly brighter than what my eye preceves is right. My othe screen is its opposite, making every thing darker.
This why i was needing a meter that would allow me to see the cmyk formula for the pixel i am hovering over. I would also wnat it to tell me whether this was a already a native cmyk formula (native to its range) or if it was just a closest estimation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recieved a dwg file from an architect (away on vacation and can't reach to ask). I'm working on a kitchen layout and the scale is off by a factor of 12. My symbols are much too large and if I draw a 36" line it comes out to be 36'.
I've gone into Format-Dimension Style and don't see what to correct in this area. Obvioulsy I can expand the drawn item by a scale of 12 to make my blocks fit but obviously screws up the dimensions...

When I try and dimesion my drawing it brings up 8' as 8" on the dimesion line, and when I dimension something like 1'-10" it brings up 1'-10''' on the dimesion line. Once i click the dimesnion to attach it to the drawing I click on the measurement tool and it bring up the correct measurement. Is there a way to fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few horizontal lines parallel to each other. I'd like to make all of those horizontal lines longer by multiplying their length by a factor (let's say 2)
The scale command doesn't work as I intent, since it makes the spacing between those lines "x" times greater as well.
Which command should I use?
I have a very simple surface. All of the elevations defining it, are set in feet. When I click on the surface it tells me my max and min elevations are in feet matching the points that I have defining the surface.
Here is the kicker, when I run a distance it is measuring the Z distance in inches and not feet. As you can see by the attached image the distance is 95' but the elevation change is 1 3/8". The actual points defining the surface are 1.28' difference. If I were to do a spot elevation on the surface, it would give me the correct elevation in feet. I am guessing that this is some sort of variable that I have missed, but damned if I can find it.
I just missing something or is there no way to get frame generator parts to list their lengths in feet?
I have authored some structurial parts and everything was done in feet, when I insert them directly from the Content Center, everything work like I want it to, but when I use frame generator they lengths are always in inches.
I know I can change it in the BOM but I'm trying to make it more consistant for everybody.
