Hi

I also have dimension accuracy problems by using AI as master illustration and "CAD" integration environment for membrane switch design. The other non-artistic layers such as circuit board, die cut profile, membrane, etc, MUST align with each other.

When you say 2500 DPI Postscript file inherited accuracy are you saying that 1 DOT = .010 mm? If this is correct it is the same to say AI has 1/100 mm limit accuracy and any dimension can have the 100th decimal position fluctuation #.234 mm, #.223 mm or #.238 mm can be seen as the same value to AI. However, to precise engineering drawing this is not acceptable.

Thanks
