Keeping the dimensions at the export to Word

[mariana]

I have a big problem regarding the AutoCAD.
I want to have the figures made by AutoCAD (2000, 2002, 2004) in Word, at the same scale.
I used all the methods from several books:
1. Copy and Paste Special, it hence a copy from the display
2. Export in .wmf and Insert Picture in Word (same result)
3. Export in .wmf or .bmp, open that files in CorelDraw or Corel Photo-Paint, make a crop and save lige .gif (I have a result, but the dimensions are changed, even if the scale chosen is 100%).
I tried also with a raster file .png, but the dimensions also it was changed.
I ask you to tell me one solution for having the possibility to put in a Word file the figures made by AutoCAD keeping the same dimensions.
Thank you!

Welcome Mariana!
Using AutoCAD you may plot with high precision. How about this: plot all your blocks from AutoCAD and insert the pages between the pages of your document.
If your target is not to obtain the printed document you may try this:
In AutoCAD draw near the top of your image a horizontal line exactly 100 units long –lets call this “control line”. Use any method to export the image, including this line. I used the simplest way: the screen capture. Bring the image in Corel Draw and crop it with the “shape” tool. The upper-left corner of the image boundary must be placed in the left extreme point of the control line. Draw a rectangle with the left-upper corner placed at the left extreme point of the control line. In Corel you can resize this rectangle to be exactly 100 mm long. Select again the image and using the right corner control point(s) resize it until the right extreme of the control line meet the right side of the rectangle. Delete the rectangle and crop the image again to make the control line “invisible”. The rest is simple: export –I used the bitmap format-, import in Word, let us know the results ...
Depending on your drawing dimensions you may need to use other lengths for the control line and rectangle.
This is not a precise way because you need to work “by eye”, but using the zoom tool the precision can be enough.
