Hi everyone.
I’m placing an illustrator file into InDesign and am having some trouble with the line or stroke width of the placed file.
Within Illustrator I have created pen strokes with a width of 4 pts on a board that is 1080 x 1080. There, it looks good at that size.
When I place the AI file into InDesign, I must scale the size of the placed file to something smaller, such as 120 x 120.
The original 4pt AI stroke width is scaled down to appear to be .25 or smaller… regardless of the actually size, it’s an uncomfortably thin stroke line that appears in ID. Here is a screen clip of how the thin line appears in ID:

In the far right column, the first grid contains a thin red stroke labeled #1. The grid below that contains two thin red lines, and the grid below that contains 3 thin red lines.
So I understand that scaling something from 1080×1080 to 120×120 is going to result in something scaled down in size… but is there a way I can keep the red line looking proportional through this scaling process?
Thanks,
Buck
