  i've done scale plans in illustrator, its kind of a pain and you need to know math. AutoCAD or anything with CAD in the name should have that scaling built in.

  what the hell? just divide by 8, ffs.

  or 1 foot in your bathroom = 1 inch in your Illy document.

  1point = 1inch
  no math involved.

  then scale final artwork as needed.
