Can i scale lineweights so an /existing/ drawing is now at 1:1 (and the lines match the scale)?

hi all.
new poster here. very happy with adobe CS suite and very grateful for the advice i have received on the forums.
can anyone help me out with the following please?
i have someone doing an architectural drawing (section and plan) that is being created from my original dwg CAD drawings. the publisher has requested the final product to be at 1:200 and the person doing the AI drawing has their file at 1:100 for some reason they explain but which i don't totally understand. publisher is requesting 1:100 in eps or in pdf format.
is there a way for the person doing this work to /scale/ the drawing so that it is ACTUAL SIZE (this is how i draw in autocad) and then have them save out a version as .eps that is 1:100 or PRINT to PDF a version that is 1:100. i mean, multi-part question here but can they scale what they /currently/ have and then tell the lineweights to all adjust accordingly so that what i am looking at now in their pdf plots is what i will see when they plot the drawing again when it is at full size? like - well - like, manually select all lines and pulldown to SCALE LINEWEIGHTS BY 100 or 200 or something?
or does this involve a whole lot of manual reworking of the drawing in some way?
also, is there any BENEFIT to having the drawing at actual size as opposed to some scaled version if - for instance - instead of having a final product that was 1:100 and 1 1/2" wide i wanted a version that was 24" x 36".
anyway, i am very familiar with CAD and raster and vector etcetera but i would be very grateful if one of the gurus would not mind just getting the inside of my head upholstered in a manner that lets me live with AI a little better...
THANKS
jon

    Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

    i can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

    Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also try restarting your iPad. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    Restoring a backup is specific to the backup program you are using to do your daily backups - consult it's manual, help file or author's support site
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library starting with the first option and trying others until you are succesful

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

    Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly? 

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • Can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad is in sleep mode and the app is closed?

    Ok, can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad and iPod touch are off, and the app is closed? Becuase my mom sent me a message and I did nott receive it. I have to have the app running or running in the background to receive messages. Is there a way to recieve messages when my ipad and ipod do NOT have the app running?

    The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
    I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
    Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:

    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • How can I share photos with family?  Share feature to web doesnt work, and the app would allow them to edit the pics, which I cant allow.

    Before LR, I used photoshop, and saved my edited and non edited pictures to a NAS drive which had read only file sharing, so all my family could browse and view the photos.
    asSince using LR 3, all my photos have been locked up in LR, with no usable way for anyone to see them.  The only thing I do is tediously save some processed pics in small size, then upload them to facebook.  Howwever, my vast library of photos is locked up in LR.
    My 4 year old daughter LOVES to look through them, but there is no option to give her READ ONLY access.
    I tried installing the ipad app, but this is useless for this purpose for 3 reasons:
      a) I have to sync each collection manually, no search options.
      b) a few swipes with her tiny fingers, and my collection is wiped out as it syncs her "changes" back.
      c) I have over 1TB of photos, and to sync this with Adobe would take months if not years, even if it only uploads the smart versions.
    What I, and probably all family photographers need, is a read only app (and possibly website) which can browse the entire repository of an LR catalog, or at least something like a read only version of the current app which requires each collection to be uploaded to Adobe (not something I really want to do - my local network is fine, and much faster, than a rural internet connection).
    How hard could it be to add a read only flag for mobile app, or a read only guest version of the app, or a basic web server to LR?
    Personally I would never want to edit my photos on my android phone, it seems like a gimmick, but I would want to show them to people, including daughter/mum/friends, and let them browse on my phone.  If anyone knows a way to do this, let me know.
    Its such a shame to have 40 years of amazing, categorized and tagged pictures locked up on my laptop, where no-one can view them.
    I tried the below link where there are some share options I have not been able to try:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
    as it simply says "you have no synced collections" and tells me to download lightroom, when a) I have synced collections, I can see them on the android app, b) I have LR 5.6 and LR CC both installed on my machine.

    I tried to figure out what you were asking about, and realized that I did not see the synced collections either. But then I realized I was logged in to the wrong Adobe account - my wife is the actual subscription holder. not me. But I stay logged in as myself to participate in these forums.
    So I logged out and logged back in as her, and still didn't see the collections. I closed the page, reopened it, closed it again, and I wish I could tell you why, but the collection I have synced to Mobile showed up.
    So there is a perfectly good web site, you just need to get logged in properly I guess.
    I clicked on the sharing options icon and this is what I get. I redacted the URL for obvious reasons:
    You can allow the viewer all, or picked, unflagged, rejected. I don't see a way to make it completely read only. Just don't teach anyone how to flag or pick a photo.
