Scale - 1/8 or 3/8
Scale - 1/8 or 3/8
(OP)
I am doing some CAD drafting, and would like to be able to draft in 1/8 scale. However, I cannot change the grid to .125 inches. I can do .12 or .13, but these throw off the scale of the architectural drawing.
I know Hotdoor's CADtools has their own grid setup, but frankly, it's horrendous. Zooming in the grid gets thicker, zooming out it gets thinner. I like how Adobe's stays the same thickness.
Does anyone know if Adobe will ever allow a more specific grid sizing ability in the future? It would be greatly beneficial for those of us who use Illustrator for drafting or other minute-detailing.

...to be honest illustrator does lack for professional drafting, and having said that most professional outfits use the industry standard AutoCAD on PC and i don't think Adobe are in it to be direct competitors with Autodesk, hence CADtools trying to work something into illustrator...

It would also be nice to be able to have Layer Folders in Illustrator, the same as we do in Photoshop. It would help to group things together.
