SCALING LINEWORK FROM ILLUSTRATOR

When plotting linework on the old plotter at TU, scale down your linework by a factor of 0.9955.

A 1000mm long line in Illustrator will be drawn on the plotter at 1004.5mm.

Hence reducing the overall scale compensates for this innacuracy.

The new plotter should not have this issue.
