Hi Carlos,

> In which scale will be the export? Real scale and screen scale?

Currently it works the same as the already existing wireframe PDF and AI output - there's a "Fit to page" option which if enabled centers the output on the printed page and scales it to fill the page. All the examples that I've posted here are done that way.

If "Fit to page" is turned off, then it will preserve the existing unit size. For PDF and AI output that will involve scaling to the native PDF/AI "points" units if your current units are millimeters, centimeters, or inches, otherwise it will scale things up by 20 times if you have any other kinds of units set which deviate highly in scale from a printed "point" (1/72 of an inch).

For DXF it just preserves units 1:1.


> What do you think about setting the scale on the export dialog window, like 1:1, 1:5, 1:20, 2:5?

Maybe... Probably every application that you're importing into will have some function in it to scale the objects if you need that though.

Both AI and PDF file formats are heavily based around "point" units and printed page bounds though.
