Importing a pattern from AI: scale problem
Hi there, I am able to import an .AI file into CLO but the scale is off! The ai pattern shape is HUGE when it gets imported to CLO.
- I checked that the units of the AI file are inches before importing
- I checked that CLO is set to inches as the unit in User Settings.
- I selected inches when importing.
What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, please help!
Thanks!

Hi stevenzorrilla. Make sure your % is set to 100 and not 2540.

Hi I have the same problem! The setting is based on inches and my file is based on inches and the % is 100% but when I import it, the pattern gets 100 times bigger!

And what is worse is that the scale of it is so high that Clo crashes! and when I enter 1% it shrinks the pattern. When I put 100% it enlarges it perhaps by 100 times and then 3D model disappears and the 2D model you cannot zoom out because the pattern is HUGE.

This is at 20% scale

I just dids ome calculations and realized that eventhough it is showing 100% scale but it enlarges my pattern by 2540%! same as the person above! There is something wrong with Clo. Can you advise why CLO does this scale automatically?

Hi anooshehka,
For the person above, it actually said 2540%, so it appears to be a different issue as what is happening for you. What is telling though is that 1" = 2,54cm. Does the pattern import correctly when choosing cm or auto scale?

I am also facing the same issue as anooshehka. I have tried to reduce the scale percentage to 15% and it is still so large. At this point I am not sure what to do.

Hi CLO Designers, My AI file is in inches and I have setup CLO in inches as well. When I import it says inches. So I am not sure if the pattern is imported correctly. Would you mind sharing a mini video or screenshots of what you mean? Even though mine does not say 2540% and it gives the 100% ratio but it is automatically scaling the AI pattern by 2540%

HI ten_ten
When you import your pattern what are the settings for import?
HI anooshehka
Have you tried to use auto and not inches? as recommended above

US Designer Support all my settings are in inches. I have attached images so you can see what I am dealing with and hope it will help so we can resolve this issue.

Hi ten_ten,
Can you see if the scale is correct when you choose "Auto" in this dropdown menu:

ten_ten CLO Designers I can confirm that creating the pattern in Illustrator in inches and importing as "Auto Scale" is the correct workflow. IF you also import as Inches the size is incorrect.
