Unfortunately, my only guess is that you are importing images with the same
file name (and even same file size, as resizing SVG is sort of meaningless
unless it contains raster-art elements) from different folder (relative paths).
For example, you have "Small" and "Large" folders in your images folder/source
folder. In that case, I would 'accuse' FrameMaker of treating them like the
same graphic and then using its scaling attributes 'behind the scenes'. But I
wouldn't expect it to 50% the LARGE one, rather the SMALL one!?!
As an aside that could help you workaround this issue: If you do not have
raster-art elements in your SVGs, why even make two sizes? Rescale as necessary
during typesetting and layout, save yourself time in Inkscape, and focus on
choosing a good balance of quality versus size for rasterized version of the
art (if, for example, you suddenly need to deliver ePubs and cannot yet rely on
EPUB 3.0 SVG support in every possible reader).
But perhaps I am missing some nuance of SVG handling in DITA-aware
FrameMaker...?

files

Hi group
I've got 2 SVG images which have the following size in Inkscape:
Image 1, the "large image:
width: 448 mm
height: 316 mm
Image 2, the same large image which I scaled in Insckape to the following
size:
width: 166
height: 153
When I put this image in a DITA topic and generate a FrameMaker file from
my ditamap (using DITA-FMx), I see that the size of the images becomes as
follows:
Image 1 (large size):
width: 280 mm
height: 198 mm
dpi: 72
*scaling: 50%*
Image 2:
width: 207.496 mm
height: 191.763 mm
dpi: 72
scaling: 100%
In DITA, I haven't used any scaling attributes (@scale, @scalefit,
@outputclass...).
When I *import *these graphics into a new FrameMaker file, the size is as
follows
Image 1 (large size):
width: 560.0mm
height: 396,001 mm
dpi: 72
*scaling: 100%*
Image 2:
width: 207,496 mm
height: 191,763 mm
dpi: 72
scaling: 100%
When I import the graphics at 90 dpi, they have approximately the same size
as their original size in Inkscape.
Does anyone have any idea why the large image is scaled 50% in the
FrameMaker file generated from the DITA topic?
Also, I see that, DIP is greyed out in the Object Properties dialog, so
there seems to be no way to change the DPI setting afterwards (using a
script, for example)?
I'm using FrameMaker 2017 with DITA-FMx 2.0.
Thanks
Yves
