Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 17 GA level.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  The save into EMF of big product
  (32000x28000mm) gives an EMF file that is clipped.
  .
  Correction Explanation
  The EMF file generated has 0.01mm as units. So its
  size is 3200000*2800000 units. But the EMF fotmat
  is limited to 32767*32767 units. That is why the
  EMF was uncorrectly displayed.
  Now for big images, we will apply a ratio to the
  image in order to get a size. You could print the
  image with a zoom using a EMF driver.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass.
  NA
