Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Andbody know if is possible and how to copy drawing from AutoCAD 2010 into Ms Word document so that scale will remain 1:1. This mean if I copy for example rectangle 100x70 mm from AutoCAD into word file and print it out that, this scale will remain still 1:1 if I measure it with ruler.

 

Is this possible to accomplish?

Do you want to insert the actual Autocad drawing into the Word file, or just the picture? If the picture, then you should print to an image file. I recommend Adobe's pdf format. If you don't have access to the full version of Acrobat (several hundred $$$), then there are several programs available such as CutePDF, a free download. Create a custom postscript page size in CutePDF, say 110mm x 80mm to completely enclose your drawing. Plot 1:1 to a pdf. Insert the image into word and scale to 110mm x 80mm. This should plot in Word at 1:1, but you may have to play with the scale a bit.

I just want to paste picture into word. I tried many combinations already and no matter what output I choose in AutoCAD I never get proper scale in Word. I tried to save as PDF, JPG, PNG, WMF as suggest one before you. When I insert that into Word whole inserted picture is always smaller. It's always extra blank margins around. Even if I set eg. limits / paper size / vports to 180x180mm or same paper.

I draw now reference line in Word then and scale that picture to match that line, but that is time consuming, because you have to crop every inserted picture and then stretch it to match that line.

 

Maybe I should set some specific pixel size when I define output size of JPG?? Any solutions are welcome.
