Hi Carlos,

> Illustrator, CadTool is at default 1:1, so this tool writes 5 meters by 5 meters.

Maybe let's focus on just this one particular example here.

How would you expect to see the result of a 5x5 meter square when opened in AI at 1:1 scale?

AI normally works on a sheet of printed paper... It's very unusual for a printer to have a printed page at 5 meters by 5 meters in size, so wouldn't this end up something like the drawn square going way way far off outside the printed page boundaries that you would normally be working with in Illustrator?

How is it that you would expect for a file in MoI with meters as the units to come into Illustrator? A 1:1 scale isn't very feasible because the object size becomes so huge in comparsion to the print area. I guess this is why you were asking about setting a scale factor...

What I was hoping was that maybe in CadTools instead of telling it the scale factor you could instead pick one line in the drawing and tell it what that line's original length was - that would be enough information for the scale factor to be calculated no matter what kind of scale was used, even if it was a scale factor that was automatically generated just to fit the drawing into the width of the page.
