Scaling Auto-trol DG images

Editions

By default, the Scale To Fit option is selected for Auto-trol DG files in the Preference Options dialog box. This has the following effect:

· On open, Auto-trol images are scaled to E-size and are displayed at 1200 dpi.

· On import, Auto-trol images are scaled to fit over the raster image on the page, if any.

The resolution of imported Auto-trol images is defined by the Use Raster Mapping on Vector Load keyname in the [File] section.

· If "Use Raster Mapping on Vector Load=1" (the default), the resolution of the imported Auto-trol images changes to match that of the raster image in the window, if any.

· If "Use Raster Mapping on Vector Load=0", the resolution of the imported Auto-trol images stays at 1200 dpi.

If you prefer, you can disable automatic scaling of Auto-trol DG images and define a specific scale factor for them.
