dgmaccoon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm fairly new to AD and loving it! I've been designing patterns for a messenger bag to be made of leather and, before I knew how to use artboards, had separate documents for various bag parts (e.g., front, inside pocket). I designed a strap, for example, that will be riveted onto a pocket. The strap is in one file and the pocket in another. They are all drawn actual size. But, when I copy the strap to paste it onto the pocket, the strap appears huge compared to the pocket. I fear I may be missing something obvious but I don't know what it is. I've made sure both documents have the same print page size (A4) and made sure the units are the same between documents. Nevertheless, an object this is 11.733 inches in one document pastes into the other document at 33.665 inches. Thank you in advance for your help! --- AD 1.4 Mac OS 10.11.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted January 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi dgmaccoon, Can you check the DPI setting in Document Setup to also make sure they match. It sounds like the DPI setting in the strap file may be higher than the pocket file. Hope this helps L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
