I downloaded drawings saved in PDF file for Halloween Hearse. If I build the hearse following the drawings, it will be 8 feet long. I want to build it so that it's 2 feet long. I had to load the drawings into VCarve, save them as PNG files, load them into Fusion3D as canvas, calibrated them, "traced" over the drawings, and scale them 25%. Is there a different way?
In V-carve, click "open file" and select the PDF you want to scale. Then go to "Transform Objects" and select " Set selected objects size". Type 25 in the % box - (can also be scaled manually using the width/height box.
Fusion 360 won't import PDF files so I have to export PDF files to PNG files in VCarve. Also, the drawings are not to scale. They are done on 11X8.5 paper.
Jeff, why not export the file from V-varve as a DXF and open that into Fusion under the "Insert" tab? I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to Fusion mind you.
