I know Impact are 1:20
Scale up to 2000% but without knowing for sure it’s scale I don’t know.

scale is 1.25m if this helps, and thanks for the speedy reply David

My berlingo template is:
4077.06 x 1914.433mm Nearside if that helps?
Not sure what % you’d need to enlarge it to get 100%

Thanks David, I will use your sizes as I only need to be close I will let you know how I get on later, need to go out for a while
Thanks -
Every template I’ve come across and used, regardless of publisher was 1:20. You need to print it out, go and physically measure up anyway once towards production stage or you’ll be swearing like a nun (huh?).

That’s odd, i use impact and the templates seem to be spot on, never had to re size at all, I have to take exact measurements before print on panel floods to make sure they fit as they always seem to be a few mil out and the panel shapes are never correct but apart from that, when I open the templates in CDRX5 they are always full scale.
Here is something I would try if scaling up.
Measure a small component on the vehicle such as the window width and then scale your image using that measurement in your image editing software. easy enough to do if you use the grid background in options you should get roughly the right size.
I have a red magnetic strip 1000mm long that I put on the side of vans if I have to take a picture to use as a template, I take the picture square on and then scale up using the magnetic strip as a scale guide.
Hope this helps a little
