: In Illustrator, how do I set my file at 10% scale? I have a large print job. The design is sized at 36" by 72" with 1" bleed. The printer is asking that I set the file at 10% scale.

Method 1:

Resize your artwork:


(With everything selected) go to Object > Transform > Scale
In the Uniform box, enter 10%
Ensure that everything under Options is checked
Click OK


Then resize your Artboard:


(With everything still selected) go to Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds


Method 2:

Create a new document with your desired dimensions (10% of your current ones) and copy the artwork to that one, scaling it down to fit.

This is very simple to do:


Open the Transform palette
Lock the width and height
In the W: input add "/10" (after the current value in the box in mm/inches/etc).


This will divide the value by 10 and will therefore downscale everything to 10% of its original size.
