AutoCAD DPI to DWF precision in Metric

Shaan has posted a useful conversion chart (see right) showing which settings to use to get a given precision in a DWF. DWF is capable of impressive precision but the default settings are rather low approximating the resolution a paper plot would give. This chart shows how to get the DPI (dots per inch) setting to use in metric drawings.

As an example, if you have a drawing where 1 centimeter equals 10 meters and want to use DWF Composer to measure to the nearest millimeter, you would generate the DWF file using a DPI value of 50800
