Hi when I do an export I get it exported to fit 8.5x11 letter- I am frustrated with this as I need full size no scaling exports on dwg, dfx, svg. How can I make exports full size?

Digital has a select pull down for mm, inches and so on. Svg is a funny one. I had loads of problems with it, different dpi settings gave me different scales. Something else they haven't done anything about.....

File> Page Layout> Scale> Scale Ratio must be 1

All your Draw views must have the scale 1. Click at the left top of a draw view for properties and change the scale to 1 and "Frame to Extents". For 1:1 Export it is better to use no draw views.

I spent loads of time playing with this.... and even though scale is set to 1:1 and I have tried fit to scale, fit to area, etc I always get a very tiny export.

So if I create a 6" square in top view- set scale in page layout to 1:1 export in svg the resulting SVG is 3.023in in Inkscpe. Though Easel (by inventables a Cam Program) does import it at 3.023in as well.

I did sent model to sheet, frame to extents and it did the same thing.

I also tried a 12" square and it exported 3.446"

Could someone help me? Surly there is a way to fix this? On Shark 12

The SVG-Export works not properly. It seems this is using just the Screen-Scale in a similar way like the PDF-Export or the PNG-Export. But the DXF-Export should working properly.
