You mentioned it is noted the PDF scale is 1/4" =1'-0". This means the plan was shrunk 48 times to fit on the paper.ġ/4" = 1'-0" (match units on both sides of = sign, 1'-0" becomes 12")ġ" = 48" (ratio of full scale to plotted scale.)

When printed to a PDF it has to be scaled down to fit on the paper. The floor plan is drawn in CAD at full scale (meaning a line representing 10'-0" is actually 10'-0" long). The scale of the PDF image is dependent on how the PDF was created. Is there a way that I can fix the scale here so that it is something my dad can work with? Is there a reason that it reads wrong? Thanks for any help.

(I cannot find the Format tab so I don't know how to change it to fractions like my dad uses - I tried putting in the Units command and changing to Architectural but I think there is something else I'm missing.) Here is an image of what I'm looking at, I hope I'm reading it right.

So if it's 14'2", when I use the linear dimension tool (I hope I'm naming the right thing, I'm learning) it should read at something like 3.54", but it reads at. For example, in one part the drawing is measured at 14'2", and the scale written on it is 1/4"=1'0". So I have a working DWG that he can use, I believe. The lines are clickable like they should be (I don't know the technical term) I think although it looks a bit ugly. Open in AutoCad to make sure it works (20). Convert PDF to DWG using AnyPDF to DWG Converter.Ĥ.

Converted the PDF to a Vector PDF using Inkscape.ģ. Recieved the original PDF from his client.Ģ.

Here is what I've done so far, and I'll explain the problem afterward:ġ. I've previously not had luck converting and he had to redraw it, but I've decided to try and find a way to go about it this time. So remembering a problem I had in the past here, I figured it was because the PDF was Raster and I needed Vector. My dad is working on a project for someone who sent him a PDF and it came in a format that couldn't be converted from PDF to DWG through the usual program he uses. Hi, I have posted here before somewhere for help for my dad and I've come back because I have another problem.
