![]() Unexpanded text is different in that the Transform Panel W and Y values will show larger than the actual text size (to account for acsenders and descenders). Something whose W value is 16.54 inches and Y value is 5.32 inches in the transform panel would be 16.54 ' x 5.32' when printed. To get the lettering or image sizes you can simply look in the transform panel with an object selected. Here is a pic of my artboards (at 1"=1' scale) I would set it up all in one document with artboards sized to your window sizes (with or without the scale- your choice). It seems easy to keep track of things- for instance if you want lettering to be 1' tall you simply make it 1" tall. Your first panel would be 22.5 inches x 6.5 inches. At a 1/10th scale this would be 27 inches x 7.8 inches One way to approach this is to convert everything to inches only- so your first panel is 22'6" x 6'6". With Illustrator you have to do it pretty much on your own. CAD software is designed to work in scale. The metric system is far easier in this regard- you just move the decimal place. Scalability in Illustrator can be cumbersome when working in our western style of feet and inches. I agree that communication with your printer about specific scaling requirements they might have is important prior to job setup so you can accommodate their needs before putting in too much work on the project. ![]() I suppose you could make an actual 1 to 1 scale model of your window layout.
